Prince Godefroid Kamatari (1957 – 20 August 2005) was a grandson of mwami HM Mutaga IV Mbikije of Burundi, and a son of HRH Prince Ignace Kamatari (d. 1964 in Bujumbura) and his second wife Princess Agrippine.
Prince Kamatari led the Abahuza party in Burundi which advocates a return of a constitutional monarchy in Burundi, as a stabilising factor in its bloody history. Most of the exiled members of the royal family live in France and elsewhere in Europe.
He died in Kigali, Rwanda on 20 August 2005
Famous quotes containing the word prince:
“The prince in disguise makes the most charming beggar in the world, no doubt; but that is because—as all fairy-tales from the beginning of time have taught us—the prince wears his rags as if they were purple. And, to do that, he not only must once have worn purple, but must never forget the purple that he has worn. And to the argument that all cannot wear purple, I can ... only reply that that seems to me to be no reason why all should wear rags.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
