But then what you're left with
is what Queen Victoria wore in her crown.
And Queen Victoria, she had two very clever things designed for it.
And I was so delighted to find the designs for these things.
A clasp that you could use it as a brooch and another that will then sort of grip it in a crown, in a coronet.
And what happens is she does wear it.
But she is the last monarch to wear it because of this idea of the curse.
And so after her, no male monarch ever wore the diamond.
It only goes to the queen consorts to wear.
The last time I think it was seen in public was in the crown of the queen mother during her funeral when it was placed on top of the coffin and people filed past.
It is in the Tower of London.
You can see it if you want to see it there.
Oh, well, so I learned all my best swear words at the Tower of London because when you used to go, when anyone used to come over to visit, you'd take them because they'd want to see the Koh-i-Noor.
And the swearing that would occur in front of the glass from your Indians, your Pakistanis, your Afghans and many, many more saying,
It's ours.
Thieves, thieves, thieves.
This is ours.
You know, how dare they?
The only thing that achieved was it taught many brown people how to moonwalk.
That is literally all that was achieved by the walkway.
