Elgin Marbles
King wrote a 2006 book entitled "The Elgin Marbles" defending the British retention of the Marbles against Greek claims that they belong to Greece and should be moved to Athens. She believes Elgin's acquisition of the marbles was legal and has argued against allowing the Greeks to possess the marbles due to what she describes as slipshod conservation practices in Greek archaeological museums. "The Sunday Times" credited King's book with "reigniting" the controversy over possession of the Elgin marbles. King, however, does not rule out an eventual loan to Greece.
