Fascinating heist at the Louvre. Saw one news report saying five guards were held at bay with an angle grinder while the crown jewels were made off with.
Puzzlingly low valuation. Perhaps someone was trying to save on the insurance. Crown jewels have no value. If you get the crown jewels, values change.
In most notions of royal monarchy (there are other kinds), the rule passes with the crown as devised by the previous monarch, though the interplay with public and private law makes for a multiplicity of state mechanisms.
And I'm still wondering what Albert thought he was doing with the Kohi-Noor. Lost half the rock.
