Exactly
In Spain we say: "The thief who steal from a thief will receive one hundred years of pardon"
The irony of this...
it’s like robbing from a robbers vault 😂
Without knowing who Colonel Blood was, i was like he is probably Irish because they are audacious! When they said he was born in Ireland i laughed so hard!

I once saw the Crown Jewels on a one to one tour within the Tower of London, this was many years ago, unfortunately unable to recall what was on show in those glass cases now, had I seen the King and Queen’s crowns….?.
Why is this on the “News” channel?
Charles had better keep his under wraps
The Crown Jewels are worth billions nowadays and security has gotten toucher since then and if attempts was successful that be the ultimate bankruptcy of the country.

@@SUS-ne8wz source Smithsonian For the British, that symbol of prestige and power was irresistible. If they could own the jewel of India as well as the country itself, it would symbolize their power and colonial superiority. It was a diamond worth fighting and killing for, now more than ever. When the British learned of Ranjit Singh’s death in 1839, and his plan to give the diamond and other jewels to a sect of Hindu priests, the British press exploded in outrage. “The richest, the most costly gem in the known world, has been committed to the trust of a profane, idolatrous and mercenary priesthood,” wrote one anonymous editorial. Its author urged the British East India Company to do whatever they could to keep track of the Koh-i-Noor, so that it might ultimately be theirs. But the colonists were first forced to wait out a chaotic period of changing rulers. After Ranjit Singh’s death in 1839, the Punjabi throne passed between four different rulers over four years. At the end of the violent period, the only people left in line for the throne were a young boy, Duleep Singh, and his mother, Rani Jindan. And in 1849, after imprisoning Jindan, the British forced Duleep to sign a legal document amending the Treaty of Lahore, that required Duleep to give away the Koh-i-Noor and all claim to sovereignty. The boy was only 10 years old. From there, the diamond became a special possession of Queen Victoria. It was displayed at the 1851 Great Exposition in London, only for the British public to be dismayed at how simple it was. “Many people find a difficulty in bringing themselves to believe, from its external appearance, that it is anything but a piece of common glass,” wrote The Times in June 1851
