The Koh-i-noor diamond is the center of a long and tumultuous history. The stone's history may be as old as 5,000 years.
Over time, this diamond has consistently been passed along, leader to leader, as a spoil of war. It was given to Queen Victoria of England by a young Indian prince, Maharaja Ranjit Singh's young successor, Duleep Singh, in 1850.
Today, the diamond is installed in the crown of the Queen Mother, now deceased, Queen Elizabeth, mother of the current Queen Elisabeth II of England. Officially, it is the property of the British Crown, which is not a person, but an office.
