On the age of 18, Prince Alemayehu died from pleurisy.

Queen Victoria, upon studying of his loss of life, request for him to be buried in Saint George’s Chapel at Windsor and expressed her mourning in a diary entry:

“Very grieved & shocked to listen to by telegram, that good Alamayou had handed away this morning. It’s too unhappy! On their lonesome, in an odd nation, with no single individual or relative belonging to him.”
