Would the King Charles III be a gentlemen and return Koh-i-Noor diamond which his ancestors stole during Raj and forgot to return?

Why we need Kingdom or Royal family again after Queen’s death? Let’s go for democratic government and everyone earn and pay taxes just like in USA, Israel and India.No more feeding to Royal Families on tax payer’s money.

That lovely to hear. UK should only allow PM Shahbaz alone, not with huge numbers of delegations he took along. Keeping in mind the Pakistan economy. No more burden on people of Pakistan please.
