Zara Tindall has been selling jewellery containing controversial Argyle pink diamonds, raising troubling questions about the environmental legacy of the gems.
The King's niece has her own jewellery collection featuring stones from an Australian mine where traditional Indigenous landowners have warned of serious environmental damage.
Environmental concerns at the mine
A damning report identified contamination by toxic 'forever chemicals', polluted water, severe erosion and damage to sacred sites, including burial grounds.
Despite her support for conservation charities, Zara has promoted jewellery containing these stones costing tens of thousands of pounds.
Calls for answers and transparency
Singer Ellie Goulding was mortified after discovering the controversy surrounding diamonds she wore. Zara should now demand answers from those supplying her collection.
Above all, Indigenous communities deserve transparency, proper restoration of their land and a genuine say in its future. No glittering diamond should ever outshine the responsibility to protect our planet and its people.
