LiveBuckingham Palace has declined to return the remains of an orphaned Ethiopian prince buried at Windsor Castle 144 years ago. The British took Prince Alemayehu to the UK when he was age seven, having laid siege to his family’s fortress in Ethiopia. The prince’s family told the BBC it was “not right” for the Ethiopian to be lying in the UK. However, Buckingham Palace told the BBC that trying to exhume his remains would disturb other bodies. They also took Prince Alemayehu and his mother Empress Tiruwork Wube to Britain, where the prince arrived an orphan in 1868.
