Coronation: South Africa Demands Return Of World Largest Diamond On British Crown

Some South Africans have demanded that the world’s largest diamond the “Star of Africa”,  which is set in the royal sceptre that King Charles III will hold at his coronation on Saturday, May 6, be returned to their country.

Naija News reports that the 530-carat diamond was discovered in South Africa in the year 1905. It was eventually presented to the British Monarchy by the colonial government in the country two years later, as the country was under British rule at that time.
