What Punjab’s last Maharaja and an Ethiopian prince had in common
Most Indians upon hearing the story of Prince Alemayehu will utter three words: Maharaja Duleep Singh. Sadly, the Ethiopian queen died even before boarding the ship, leaving Alemayehu to land alone in an alien country surrounded by English speaking strangers. Interestingly, Duleep Singh’s third son Frederick was born the same year that sad little Alemayehu arrived in England: 1868. After Eton and Cambridge, this part-Ethiopian Indian prince became an officer in the British army and served in World War I. Britain will exploit this dichotomy if a demand is made for Duleep Singh’s remains.
