Look, the point is the curse in a nutshell.

No man is ever going to be worthy to wear this diamond.

It destroys all who come into contact.

Only a woman can wear this.

And so through the British royal family, anyway, from the time of Queen Victoria, it has been basically chucked at the queen consort.

Because if there's a curse, you can deal with it.

Until Queen Camilla, who said, I'm not doing that.

I'm not wearing it.

And so it wasn't worn during the latest coronation.

But why is there a curse?

Now, that's what we need to remind you in this emergency podcast, Willie.

Piles of bodies.

I mean, there are piles of bodies.

Wherever this rock has rolled, it has rolled over the dead and the grief-stricken.

So, you know, from that moment where it's conflated with the gem of the sun god, the mythical Symantica.

Willie, when does it first pops up as part of the peacock throne, doesn't it?

Tell us what somebody writes about it.

Can we also add the fact that he was also pretty much a liar, liar, pants on fire.

I mean, when he didn't know a thing, he made up shit.

He did.
