The diamond was given to Queen Victoria as a condition of the Treaty of Lahore, which ended the first Anglo-Sikh War in 1849, according to Historic Royal Palaces.

Many Indians believe the diamond still belongs to India and that the British stole it, BBC News reports.

They don't have to sugarcoat how the diamond was gotten....

IT WAS STOLEN

Explorers:
The Crown of Scotland was placed on Her Majesty's coffin in Edinburgh's St Giles Cathedral as her son King Charles and his siblings watched on.

The sombre moment was part of the service in the heart of the Scottish capital this afternoon.

Made from gold, silver and precious gems, the crown is the centrepiece of the Honours of Scotland which are the oldest Crown jewels in Britain and among the oldest in Europe.

The crown was made in its current form in 1540 for King James V of Scotland.

In its earliest form, the crown dates back to 1503, when it was depicted being worn by King James IV.

The Queen had herself held the crown in the same church, St Giles' Kirk just after her coronation.

It doesn't matter. The woman has no fault and I don't blame her for anything. The land you call home today, for forebears fought, killed and maimed others to hold that land down. The Queen is not a democrat. She was the leader of a kingdom, an empire. They don't smile. Everything they did, they did for the good of their kingdom first before considering others. That's how every kingdom was run in the days of old. You complain because your own kingdom was outgunned, outfought, outmaneuvered and then subsequently plundered. It's all part of the package.

Oyo empire, Benin empire, etc were warriors who also killed and plundered other empires. Don't be emotional about it. It's just how the world worked and still works. Your politicians are doing it to you now terrorising, stealing, and killing people via religious intolerance etc. The US is also doing it to the world. Russia is doing it to Ukrained and did it to Georgia. So long as the sun shines, people would always want to rule others.
. Na you be the first person I see wey get wisdom since they started this their hate for a woman that has achieved what many of them can't because they never had previledge to be royal birth.

Beautiful! Lovely ,and exquisite Earthly royalty at its Peak.
But let no one Deceive you, all these are vanity because N.aked she came into the world and N.aked she has gone.

Not a pin or a fin is taken away from here.
Infact what is in that box is dust. The queen is long gone to Eternity in Heaven or Hell based on who she Belived and live for.

If she made peace with JESUS before her death, it does not matter what you think or say about her, she is In Heaven now.
If she didn't make peace with JESUS Christ , she is right now burning in hell.

For us who are alive, What really Matters now and Eternity is the Genuie Salvation of our soul. It is only possible through JESUS CHRIST.

Doesn’t run any area of government like you said but:

Will collect all the tax of about $100M/yearly.
Owns a fortune of $500M.
Overseas the commonwealth of nations.
Oversaw the destruction/genocide in Nigeria from 1967-1970.
Oversaw the destruction of families in Ireland, India, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa.
Mined and stole diamonds and reseources from African countries.


The list is endless.

This has taught the world a lesson.which is “One day we will all die and those left to mourns us and works we did will be what will determine if we actually lived a good life”

Oga queen did not oversee anything in the 1960s or 1970s by the 1900s the Queen had no military or policy powers, make una try dey read na, even if na simple search on Google instead of repeating same cynical crap passed on by your grandfathers.

Do you really want to know?

Do you really want to know how 'new' the igbo is in the scheme of things?

The ivories that the Benin sold in the 15th century, do you know where they hunted the elephants?

What exactly was happening in the present-day igbo areas 500 years ago?

Now as to your exaltation of the Arochukwus, you seem to have forgotten that they sold their kin as slaves in the 17th/18th century and raided neighbouring villages to kidnap humans for the slave trade. They entered the game late but were so quick to flood the market with their kinsmen.

Igbos were not able to fight the big wars which is why they never conquered any major power. There was no 'igbo nation' except until recent times. There were confederation of small villages scattered in the thick jungles of the south east. This why they dont have kings too (irrespective of the stories being told).

The first war by the Igbos against people who didn’t speak their native language (apart from the failed resistance to the British) was the Biafran war. Do you know what that means?

With the ferocity of the Arochukwus coming together as European trade blossomed and Benin got weaker, maybe another 200 years and they would have united to stifle northward trade up the Niger. Unfortunately, slave trade ended.

This is not in anyway to denigrate the present-day igbos but facts are facts.

Kudos. It's heartwarming we still have mature, sensible adults around here.
People just thrash talk anything they don't understand. Everyone of us is standing on land our forebears fought to possess, often by dispossessing others. But because we have no documented history, we think we are not guilty of the same crime and evil.
Shalom.

Four crowns will appear throughout the events to honor the queen.

* The first is the Crown of Scotland, which is placed atop her coffin as she lies in state in Edinburgh, Scotland on Monday.
The Crown of Scotland sits atop the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II inside St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh on September 12, 2022, during a service of Thanksgiving for her life.

* The Imperial State Crown, one of the crowns Queen Elizabeth II wore during her coronation in 1953, will also be placed on her coffin as she lies in state in London.

* The other crown she wore to her coronation, St. Edward's Crown, will be placed on King Charles' head.

* Charles' wife, Camilla, the Queen Consort, will wear the Crown of Queen Elizabeth.

This crown features the The Koh-i-Noor diamond and was given to Queen Elizabeth II's mother in 1937, according to the Historic Royal Palaces.

The diamond was given to Queen Victoria as a condition of the Treaty of Lahore, which ended the first Anglo-Sikh War in 1849, according to Historic Royal Palaces.

Many Indians believe the diamond still belongs to India and that the British stole it, BBC News reports.

The Crown of Scotland was also used at the coronations of her son James VI who went on to become James I of England and her grandson Charles I in 1633 at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

The ancient Crown of Scotland is carried on a cushion preceding the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in the St. Giles Cathedral here during the National Service of thanksgiving in June 1953.

British are not that stupid to bury it with her.
