According to the Western Morning News:
An intriguing chapter linking the last emperor of a 3,000-year-old African dynasty and a West Cornwall town has come to a close with the death of Ethiopian princess, Aida Desta.
Aida Desta was the… direct descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba….

After the communist revolution in 1974, Cornish people joined local MP David Harris in calling for the release of Aida and other members of the Ethiopian Royal Family.
