So, is "His Honor" going to set an example and give Manhattan back to the Lenape???
Hours before greeting King Charles III in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was asked about the royal visit during a news conference in the Bronx.
The mayor quickly distanced himself, saying that he would be attending a ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum “alongside a number of other elected officials” and that would be the extent of his interaction with the king.
But what would he say to King Charles if they were to have a private meeting?
“I would probably encourage him to return the Koh-i-Noor Diamond,” Mr. Mamdani said.
The mayor’s decision to invoke the 105.6-carat diamond — taken from an 11-year-old Indian prince in the 1840s when India was a British colony and presented to Queen Victoria — was in character.
