Buckingham Palace has declined a request to return the remains of an Ethiopian prince who came to be buried at Windsor Castle in the 19th Century.
Prince Alemayehu was taken to the UK aged just seven and arrived an orphan after his mother died on the journey.
Queen Victoria then took an interest in him and arranged for his education – and ultimately his burial when he died aged just 18.
But his family wants his remains to be sent back to Ethiopia.

I have no words emmmmmm
Why ask? Go and get
One day East Africans Somalia and Ethiopia will have more power the gay europeans!
Negus Tewodros did not kill himself nor was he captured. Elijah, Enoch, Lazarus.

the prince is right here in Belize 501 n not dead bt treated like garbage n not a decent home or even financially bankrupt
There are no remains, he didn't die the british royal family faked his death and then he was sent to Palestine.
Ethiopia has become hell for its citizens at this time๐
To my knowledge Emperor Tewodros specifically requested his wife,Empress Ternesh, & their son, Prince Alemayehu, to be taken under British protectionโฆ This was due to the risk of them being murdered or captured by waring Ethiopian factions. Of which there were many. The eldest direct male descendant of Emperor Tewodros was a great threat. The Empress was t request Prince Alemayehu be taken to India or England. Unfortunately The Empress died in route to England and Prince Alemayehu was left with no parents. On all accounts he live a very sad life in England and faced many challenges dieng at a young age. The Prince was respectfully buried in high esteem at St. Georgeโs cathedral and there is a gold plaque in the cathedral honoring himโฆ

Prince Alemayehu was poisoned / murdered!
Sadest child Iโve ever seen, you could see the pain in his eyes
The picture is Captain Speedy adding insult to injury dressed in an Ethiopian outfit holding the child a spear and shield. All as a trophy. God knows what that sick man did to that child and most likely killed his mother on the way back to England
They probably threw his bones away or his bones would reveal his real cause of death
I can only imagine the amount of abuse that child went through from the moment he was captured
This is a real glimpse into the dark things the royals did
People who practice incest have no morals
As an Afghan this breaks my heart. I feel the pain of the people of Ethiopia!
Iโm on the front line my bone and body will be stepped on but my soul be free.
The true fact is there are no remains of him left in Windsor and there is no coffin
Yet they've moved several of their own people's bodies from there just because. Even one to Jerusalem. They're keeping his remains as a trophy. Disgusting.
These wight people are dastardly
1492 – 1892 400 years prophecy as in Genesis 15:13 Abraham seeds.
It started in 1492 with Columbus and ended in 1892 with the birth of Haile Selassie who we all know was crowned 1930 king of kings .
England is disgusting
The British are SICK holding on to the remains of an Ethiopian who they kidnapped and mistreated….SHAME SHAME SHAME๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ…but then again they have no shame..they love everything stolen…British Museum.๐ก

How about the artifacts you looted??
Hopefully there is a body It would not surprise me if they did something wicked to that young man. England should do everything in it's power to return that young man he was stolen
Why bbc English .. about currently betrayed ilegal govt of not DC .but lay man ato abiy jenocide…
Pray the citizens of England find it in their hearts to come together and demand they to do the right thing.
Well he may be coming home…๐….he's no different then any other child….just a child…..I'm sure that more than a locket of hair can be returned….( not sure how much it has been 120 plus years…) but also….hid mother and the boy 7yrs. Old may not have been very safe being left behind….as there are few who would hold a kingdom for someone so young….!
Fun fact: Emperor Tewodros ambition was to capture Jerusalem by waging war against Ottoman Turks; he send a letter to queen Victoria and she declined to send support for his crazy ambition๐ then he arrested British citizen in his court! The real motive behind his moves/thought was believed to be he wanted to be King of Kings based in Jerusalem. That was impossible based on his military or technology at a time!! What an ambition delusional person
100% pure savage ,barbaric
They are asking for nothing more then the remains of their Prince. Return him to his homeland.
Yeh right… talking about to royal robbers of Brit
Absolutely racist.
That is a consequence of war. Prior to that era, war defeated kings and queens, princes and princess, generals and colonels were enslaved. See the history of Rome.
There is no proof the child was mistreated nor he was denied necessary medical care.
The audacity of these devils to do what they did then as if they have the right to what they stole, they say no. How dare they?!?!
his not dead he is in Belize already air ti the throne n his imperial majesty still reigns
I think we should let alemayehu where he restsโค๐๐๐๐
I think I understand that they want to preserve the dignity of other people buried with him. Obviously they can't really identify which among the several bodies is his. It's been more than 150 years since he was buried there
Who cares for a colonialist
As usual, British policy continues as their DNA is ingrained in it
stolen artifacts in which money is made off of on display without proceeds going back to the people is highly disrespectful…. Return of the prince
He is dead no point to return
