For a start she is the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, not England. :-)

actually she is the RULER of great britain.. but she is commonly known as the queen of england,.. im suprised you didnt know that being from the uk... do you ever hear anyone refer to her as the queen of great britain?

and op... sounds like bs mate... tony blair is camping there?? come on man.. anyway, what the hell has tony blair got to do with this??
i seriously doubt england have made any claim to this treasure..

Well, if it's Indias treasure maybe they can use it for feeding their poor, save the British tax payer doing it through international aid. I'm all for supporting poorer nations, but not ones who hold billions in treasure and their own space program. If they keep the treasure the aid should be cut off, you cant have your cake and eat it/

I did the calculation. Even if they found $50 billion and only gave it to the poor, the poor would only get $77-$78.

I think it is the term Royal Family that gets people confused as one particular one generally springs to mind in the form of Liz the Lizard.

But still should be interesting if the Travancore royal family do push the claim that their ancestors have always stored their loot in the place why should they share it..

Putting that to one side what amazing find and such beautiful craftsmanship.. I hope it all goes on display at least once for Indians and the world to share in it's beauty.

Good I'm glad, not a fan of the Royals either, Want them to be abolished if truth be told, when are you Canadians going to abolish her? I'm sure Australia would follow suit if you did,:-), but I digress, she is not the Queen of England, there hasn't been a Queen of England for hundreds of years, she is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, but Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is the UK, Not England. Sorry to be correcting people, but we are supposed to be denying ignorance, It just winds me up when people call the UK England, the UK is Wales England Scotland and Northern Ireland :-)

She's not the Queen of England, she's just referred to as that because people are lazy and just pick England because it's the dominant UK nation, the same way tourists always say, I went to England, but were holidaying in a seaside town in Wales, people may call her the Queen of England, but it's not her official title :-)
