It’s their stuff, you gotta give it back. It doesn’t matter that they might just turn around and sell it, or stick in a warehouse, or use it for target practice, or whatever. It is NOT YOURS; you have no say in what they do with it.
I read his Wikipedia page, it’s an extraordinarily sad story by every measure and it appears even a lot of people back then thought so. He died of pleurisy in England at 18 after spending some time attending British schools. Queen Victoria met him when he arrived in England seems to have genuinely liked him and arranged for him to be buried in St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, because of his royal status. She also paid for his education and care under the supervision of a guy named ‘Captain Speedy’, which sounds like a Marx Brothers character but is apparently a real dude.

The long-dead prince was living in England, died there, and was buried there. Would be weird to dig him up.

What’s with the quotes, he was kidnapped after British indian troops sacked his father’s fortress & killed his entire family. He was stolen as was the entire contents of the British Museum’s Maqdala collection – the stuff they stole. https://www.britishmuseum.org/about-us/british-museum-story/contested-objects-collection/maqdala-collection
