If you want to understand the banking industry over the long term, one of the most important principles to learn is that of the “regulatory pendulum”.  Things come and go, every action has an eventual reaction.  Deregulation brings speculation, speculation causes crisis, crisis leads to harsh regulation.  But after a while, every financial centre realises that they might be able to steal a bit of market share by relaxing the rules a little bit, and the deregulatory cycle begins to turn again.

British royal family gets their money from a variety of sources. One important source that is supported by tax dollars is the Sovereign Grant. The Sovereign Grant was £86.3 million, or about $113 million, for the years 2021–2022 and 2022–2023. The Crown Estate, which is in charge of overseeing substantial holdings of land and property, provides the funding for this grant. But the majority of this money is used to fund staff salaries, upkeep of the royal homes, and planning of more than 2,500 events per year. The estimated £369 million, or around $483 million, refurbishment project for Buckingham Palace, which is scheduled to be finished by 2027, is another significant investment, as per the reports of Yahoo entertainment.

diamond discovered in more than a century has been unearthed in Botswana, marking a historic discovery. The stunning 2,492 carat diamond was unveiled during a special ceremony presided over by Botswana's president. This stone, which is about the size of a fist and weighs about a pound, has attracted a lot of interest and enthusiasm, as per the reports of the New York Post. Initial estimates say the diamond may be worth over $40 million, but it is too early to confirm the actual value or complete the sale. The Canadian mining corporation Lucara, which found the diamond at its Karowe Mine, is the source of this information. Some industry insiders, though, think this assessment may be low. Renowned diamond expert Fred Cuellar likened the value of diamonds to that of real estate, where the amount depends on comparable sales in the recent past. Given that a smaller diamond from the same mine sold for $63 million in 2016, Cuellar estimated that the diamond's potential value ranged from $100 million to $160 million.
