The longest-reigning British monarch died on September 8. But many from her former colonies aren’t mourning.


As soon as the news of the queen’s passing broke, South Asians across the world started asking for the controversial diamond back. The 109-carat Koh-i-Noor – believed to be the world’s most expensive diamond – has been at the heart of an ownership dispute between the British royalty and some of its former colonies. The dispute over the diamond, estimated to be worth $400 million by some and priceless by others, symbolizes a larger protest against the British for downplaying the brutality of their 200-year rule and the scale of their loot.



Believed to bring bad luck to men but the good fortune to women, the Koh-i-Noor has been worn by generations of British queens. Queen Mother Elizabeth wore it in her crown. It is now considered royal property and is on display at the Tower of London. The crown with the Koh-i-Noor will reportedly be passed down to the wife of soon-to-be King Charles, Camilla.


As Britain mourns Elizabeth II, some people from her former colonies have focused on the destruction the British empire brought upon large swathes of the world.
