Although King Charles will have a low-key ceremony on his coronation day this May 6, the Crown Jewels will still figure prominently.

Key Points: 
  • Although King Charles will have a low-key ceremony on his coronation day this May 6, the Crown Jewels will still figure prominently.
  • An exploration of the story of the jewels tells a tale of brutal exploitation, rape and the original looting.
  • Much of what was called the British Empire was built from stolen riches — globally — and much of that was from India.
  • In fact, India was such an abundant contributor to the Crown that at the time of its occupation of South Asia, Britain called India the Jewel in its Crown.

King Charles's 21st century coronation: Repatriating the Crown Jewels is long overdue

Majesty, spectacle and celebrity have long been associated with the British Royal Family, and the Crown Jewels have traditionally enhanced each of these aspects.

Key Points: 
  • Majesty, spectacle and celebrity have long been associated with the British Royal Family, and the Crown Jewels have traditionally enhanced each of these aspects.
  • But in the 21st century, it’s time for the monarch to make good on the vow to “reform what is amiss” and repatriate those priceless gems.

Jewels taking centre stage

    • These diamonds have a painful history and yet two of them are taking centre stage at King Charles’s coronation at a time of acute post-colonial pain.
    • The Royal Family is aware of this history; that’s likely why it opted against including the Koh-i-Noor diamond in the coronation ceremony.
    • This display is intended to capture attention, reinforce British identity and immerse British and Commonwealth citizens in the sovereign-subject relationship.

The stolen Crown Jewels

    • In the 21st century, however, the Crown Jewels and coronation regalia are under intense scrutiny amid decolonization and ongoing efforts to repair Britain’s global relationships.
    • Identity and repair are at the centre of current developments, reinforcing the importance of this coronation — and King Charles himself.
    • That some Indigenous leaders didn’t feel mournful about her passing reflects the impact of colonization on the monarchy.

Colonial aggression

    • Consequently, the Crown Jewels represent something much more than the majesty of British history because they incorporate gems that are artefacts of colonial aggression and ideology.
    • If coronation viewers are enchanted by the majesty and historical grandeur of the coronation ceremony, are they also enchanted by Britain’s brutal colonial past?
    • Specifically, will viewers be struck by the contradiction between the supposed purity and sanctity of St. Edward’s Crown, the Imperial Crown, the Sovereign’s Sceptre and Orb and the savage and demeaning colonial origins of the gems embedded within them?

Koh-i-Noor diamond

    • The same is true for the Koh-i-Noor diamond, forcibly “gifted” in 1849 by 10-year-old Maharajah Duleep Singh to the British East India Company and subsequently placed into the crown of the late Queen Mother for her coronation in 1937.
    • Although it won’t be seen at Charles’s coronation, it’s still among the Crown Jewels — and it’s hardly the embodiment of virtue.
    • Gems do not a monarch make, and repatriating them would strengthen and modernize the contemporary British monarchy at a time when it most urgently needs to do so.
