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

Published

on



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.

How King Charles could fix Trump and Starmer’s relationship | BBC News

Published

on



At a moment of tension for the UK-US “special relationship”, will King Charles’ meeting with President Donald Trump help smooth relations with Prime Minister Keir Starmer?

Last week, President Trump told BBC North America Editor Sarah Smith that the King could “absolutely” help repair relations, but this follows numerous attacks from the US president towards Starmer over his position on the US-Israel war with Iran.

BBC’s Jo Crawford spoke to North America Editor Sarah Smith to examine the political backdrop to the King’s visit to the US and with Royal Correspondent Sarah Campbell, to explore Trump’s fascination with the British Royal Family.
