In this fourth Video of the Series, we explore Elizabeth Taylor's love story with Richard Burton. She married and divorced him twice and will forever remember him as one of her greatest loves.
He gifted her diamonds and jewels, but none more impactful than the famous Taylor-Burtobn diamond.
Can a diamond symbolise a love that's forever? Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's turbulent romance, born on the set of Cleopatra, redefined celebrity coupledom.
Their volcanic relationship led to marriage, divorce, remarriage, and re-divorce, punctuated by Burton's grand gesture of gifting Taylor the breathtaking 69-carat Taylor-Burton diamond.
This symbol of their love captivated the world, just as their intimate letters revealed a passion that burned too brightly to last.
Through Oscar wins, Vatican condemnations, and epic reunions,
"Liz and Dick" showed the world what it meant to live and love in the spotlight.
A Week after Burton's funeral, Taylor made an emotional visit to his grave, shielded by umbrellas and security guards, kneeling and grieving for her lost love.
In the end, Taylor confessed, "I love Richard with every fibre of my soul."
Perhaps their story, like the magnificent diamond, is a testament to the enduring power of love, or does it prove that even the most brilliant gems sometimes can't save a doomed romance?
