Koh-I-Noor Diamond

Her Royal Majesty has carried around the Koh-I-Noor diamond around in her purse since she took on the reign. This baseball sized blood diamond is the largest in the world was stolen from South Asian rulers by the British East India Company, who then presented it to gradmum Queen Victoria.

Commoners think this beast of a stone is "on display" at the Tower of London when in fact, QEII has had it in her purse all these years (the one in the case is actually a big Swarovski crystal).

Suckers.
