NYC Mayor Mamdani Calls for Return of Koh-i-Noor Diamond From UK Ahead of King Charles Meeting

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called for the return of the Koh-i-Noor diamond from the UK ahead of his meeting with King Charles at a ceremony honoring 9/11 victims. The 105-carat diamond, part of the Crown Jewels, has been disputed by India, which claims it was stolen during British rule. Mamdani, who has Indian roots, said he would encourage the King to return the gem. King Charles and Queen Camilla are on a four-day US visit.

NYC Mayor Mamdani Says He Would Urge King Charles to Return Koh-i-Noor Diamond

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he would encourage King Charles III to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond if given the opportunity to speak with him. The statement came during a press conference ahead of the British monarch's visit to New York City. The Koh-i-Noor diamond, mined in India's Kollur Mine, was ceded to Queen Victoria in 1849 following the Second Anglo-Sikh War and the Treaty of Lahore. India has continued to seek the return of the diamond, which now weighs 105.6 carats and is displayed at the Tower of London.

King Charles Snubbed by NYC Mayor Over Koh-i-Noor Diamond Return Demand

King Charles III was effectively snubbed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his visit to lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial, with the mayor refusing a private meeting and publicly urging the king to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond. The 106-carat diamond has been the subject of an ownership dispute since it was taken from 10-year-old Maharajah Duleep Singh when his kingdom was seized by the British in 1849. Charles was instead accompanied by former mayor Mike Bloomberg at the World Trade Center site, and faced criticism during his US visit for refusing to meet Epstein's victims.

NYC Mayor Mamdani Would Ask King Charles to Return Koh-i-Noor Diamond

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he would encourage King Charles III to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond during the British monarch's visit to New York this week. The 100-plus carat diamond, now housed at the Tower of London and valued at up to $1 billion, has been the subject of longstanding disputes over colonial-era artefacts. King Charles and Queen Camilla visited the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum, laying flowers and meeting families of victims of the 2001 terror attacks.
