Here in New York, Mayor Zohran Mamdani declined to meet privately with King Charles III on Wednesday as he joined the British monarch at a wreath-laying ceremony honoring 9/11 victims. Mamdani was asked by reporters what it would take for him to agree to a private meeting with the king.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani: “If I was to speak to the king separately from that, I would probably encourage him to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond.”

The 105-carat diamond was taken by the British from India in the 19th century and is currently housed in the Tower of London, placed on the crown made for Queen Mother Elizabeth.

Meanwhile, the White House posted a photo of President Trump and King Charles III with the caption “two Kings” during the monarch’s visit this week. Since Trump’s return to office, protests have erupted nationwide under the slogan “No Kings.”
