Camilla to wear the Kohinoor crown when Charles ascends the British throne
By MYBRANDBOOK
When Britain's Prince Charles ascends the throne, his wife Camilla will receive the Queen Mother's famous Kohinoor crown. On Saturday, Queen Elizabeth II announced her "sincere wish" that the Duchess of Cornwall should ultimately be known as Queen Consort.
This indicates that Camilla will have the Queen Mother's "priceless" platinum and diamond crown placed on her head when Charles becomes the king.
The Kohinoor (also spelled Koh-i-Noor) is a 105.6 carat diamond steeped in history. The diamond was found in India in the 14th century and over the centuries changed many hands. In 1849, after the British annexation of Punjab, the diamond was ceded to Queen Victoria and since then been a part of the British Crown Jewels. The diamond, however continues to be the subject of a historic ownership dispute among at least four countries, including India.
The Kohinoor diamond is currently set in a platinum crown created for Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) for the 1937 coronation of King George VI. It is kept on display in the Tower of London.
Camilla was long blamed for her role in the breakdown of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage. Understanding the sensitivities, when the couple married in 2005, the royal family announced she would be known as Princess Consort after Charles became king.
However, in a significant announcement over the weekend, Queen Elizabeth II said "it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort".
The announcement came on a historic day as the Queen marked the 70-year anniversary of her accession to the British throne.
