Leaders of monarchies across Africa have historically forged close ties by marrying among each other, much like the ties between South Africa’s Zulu monarch and the Kingdom of eSwatini.
In 1973, after a traditional upbringing in the ways of the Swazi Royal Family, the princess was betrothed to King Goodwill Zwelithini, who would rule the Zulu Kingdom from 1968 until his death in 2021.
The title would allow her male heir first place in the line of succession to the Zulu throne. The Zulu monarch agreed and the two married in 1977.
