Buckingham Palace said it will not return the remains of Prince Alemayehu, an Ethiopian prince who was buried in Windsor Castle in the 19th century. The Ethiopian government and descendants of Alemayehu’s family have requested the prince’s remains be returned, however, Buckingham Palace insists that it is impossible to do so. In 1879, at the age of 18, Prince Alemayehu died. In a statement from Buckingham Palace released to the BBC, a spokesperson said that the removal of Alemayehu’s remains from the catacombs of St George’s Chapel would likely affect others buried there. Either way, Prince Alemayehu will remain at Windsor Castle for the foreseeable future.
