Buckingham Palace rejects request to return remains of Ethiopian prince - BBC News

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.
