They actually did steal the jewels from the Taj Mahal. At the end of the British reign in India, they stole priceless jewels. On June 29, 1850, the British warship HMS Medea docked in an English port carrying a very special object from India -- the Kohinoor diamond. The priceless jewel was confiscated at the end of the Sikh War by the British and was shipped off home to be gifted to the Queen. They are now in the British Crown, waiting to be returned to it's rightful place in the Taj Mahal. The Kohinoor Diamond is still the brightest jewel in the British monarch's crown.
