The Queen Calls Crown With Kohinoor Extremely Heavy, People Say 'Stolen Property Will Do That'
Queen Elizabeth II has claimed that the crown is too heavy for her to balance. The crown is set with 2868 diamonds 11 sapphires 11 emeralds and 269 pearls. The Indian government said that the Kohinoor diamond was a gift to the British and that they can keep it.
If you've ever been to England, at least one person from back home must have told you to bring back the Kohinoor. No points for guessing, of course, that did not happen. However, the Queen herself has given people the opportunity to crack the joke once again by claiming that the crown is too heavy for her.
Twitter
In a 2018 BBC documentary, Queen Elizabeth II made a statement that not only is the crown very difficult to balance, but it could possibly 'break her neck' if she looked down. While discussing the 65th anniversary of her coronation, the head of the Royal family made this very obvious revelation, since the crown is set with 2,868 diamonds, 11 sapphires, 11 emeralds and 269 pearls.

Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953 and was presented with the St Edward's Crown. Earlier, the crown had been worn by George V and George VI for their coronations too. Otherwise, the crown is on display for the public in the Jewel House at The Tower of London.

After social media heard the news of the Queen's 'complaints' about the weight of the crown, they immediately offered her some smart advice on how to make things easier for her. It was simple - return the stolen jewels!
Stolen property does that

Even though back in 2016, the Indian government had said that the Kohinoor diamond was a gift to the British and that they can keep it, the joke never gets old. It's almost a legend now.
