Greetings, Peace to your House. Good intelligent question. His Majesty named Crown Prinse Zara Yacob as suscessor to the throne to His son Asfa Wossen who was appointed as EmperorAmha Selassie Iin exile in Londoni n the early 1990's. He has since passed and so His Highness Zara yacob is the Crown Prince wo represents the throne. It is important to note that the throne in the real sense is not a chair but is established in the seed of David, although he has not political office in Ethiopia.The promise to David in the Davidic Covenant is as long as the Moon and Sun endure, so there is always one to represent it. Yet these do not substitute for Haile selassie, whose manifestion of the spirit and character of Jah is unparalled since King David.The throne will remain in the hands of the sons of David until Shiloh comes.
