The headpiece worn by the Queen Mother to her 1937 coronation alongside King George VI might not be worn by the new consort due to its origins.
A coronation controversy is brewing.
A glittering 105-carat diamond might cause international upset if Queen Consort Camilla chooses to wear a historical crown during King Charles III’s— and according to experts, the piece, which is worth a jaw-dropping estimated $1 billion, is unlikely to be seen at the ceremony. The crown in question is the style created for the Queen Mother to wear at her coronation alongside husband King George VI in 1937, featuring the dazzling Koh-i-noor diamond.
Its name means “mountain of light” in Persian and the stone is certainly a whopper, with the 105-carat diamond currently sitting atop the Queen Mother’s plush purple crown after being set in the crowns of previous consorts Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary. The Koh-i-noor, which was seized by the East India Company and given to Queen Victoria in the 19th century, has been a source of contention for years between Britain and India.Tim Graham Photo Library via Geton September 8, many are once again calling for the gemstone’s return to India, and questions about whether Camilla will wear the crown have emerged.
