After the death of Queen Elizabeth, the coronation of King Charles III in England led to widespread discontent in Africa. He’ll receive a crown at the ceremony, but unfortunately it’s studded with stolen diamonds. These diamonds were taken from Africa and India during slavery and international imperialism. In 1905, the South Africans discovered the world’s largest diamond. But unfortunately, it was given to the British two years later.<\/p>\n

The diamond, which weighed 530 carats, was presented to the British monarchy by the country’s colonial government. Known as the Star of Africa, this stone is now inlaid in the British royal spectrum held by King Charles III at his coronation. South Africans are angry and are demanding that their diamond be returned home.<\/p>\n
