Buckingham Palace has announced that Camilla will wear Queen Mary's crown at her coronation which avoids the use of the Koh-i-Noor diamond.
Camilla was widely expected to wear the Queen Mother's crown, used by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother at her coronation in 1937, in which is set the Koh-i-Noor diamond, a stone with disputed ownership considered by many to be a spoil of Britain's colonialist past.
"Queen Mary's Crown has been removed from display at the Tower of London for modification work ahead of the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort on Saturday, 6th May 2023," said a statement from Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
