KOH-I-NOOR DIAMOND
GETTING ITS OWN TV SERIES
 |
| Koel Purie Rinchet is producing! |
 |
| Dalrymple's Anarchy is also becoming a series |
This famous and cursed diamond wreaked untold devastation as it was
viciously ripped from one royal hand to another. It has ended up in its
final home, the Tower of London, after being gruesomely wrested from the
hands of its last owner, a nine year old Maharaja. Television has never
witnessed a historical story of this magnitude, where bloodshed, love,
sex, intrigue, beauty and cruelty all come together to create a layered
narrative. This story, rooted in South Asia and traversing countries
like Afghanistan and Iran, has a unique international appeal. It is a
timely story of greed, power and appropriation regardless of cost.

You give me as much reading recommendations as you do Hollywood ones. :) I'm adding this to my Audibles wish list. Hopefully the 9 year old was OK though..
ReplyDeleteWell, given it was the Brits, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually butchered the poor boy and all his court too.
DeleteI can't recall if we saw this crown jewel when we toured the Crown Jewels in London. We saw so much in such a short time period and they didn't allow photos, so I might have.
ReplyDeleteIt is in Lizzy's crown, deary, so if you saw her crown, you saw the diamond too from the photos above :) Don't know how the imperialist witch does not get headaches wearing something so bloody on her head.
DeleteIm pretty sure we did see her crown, so I must have seen it. We had to stand on a conveyor belt that whirled us through, so I didn’t take in too much of what I saw. I imagine any crown would give a headache.
DeleteWhat the what? A conveyor belt, as in moving steps? OMG I've never heard of such a thing! How does that even fit the palace?
DeleteYeah, it was really weird. They weren't steps, but like what you put your groceries on at the checkout, just whirling us through. I mean, some of it we were able to walk through, but all of the crown jewels we had to conveyor through. They didn't want anyone crowding the glass, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteThe conveyor probably opens into a pit with thorns if someone tries to step of it and steal the crown jewels lol
