News of Mutesi’s pregnancy first surfaced in December 2024.
The Inhebantu and Kyabazinga Nadiope married on November 18, 2023.
During a reception at State House in May, President Museveni expressed relief that the Busoga monarch had finally settled into married life.
“For years, I urged the king to find a wife and settle down,” Museveni said.
“As he told you, whenever he came here, I would challenge him on it. We Africans, once grown up, must get a wife. It’s not just about being there; it’s part of okwombeka (building) in our culture. Building isn’t just about erecting structures—it’s also about having a wife and creating wealth.”
“She came as a highly accomplished individual,” Museveni said.
President Museveni also congratulated the king and the people of Busoga on their new queen, describing her as “beautiful and well-educated.”
He pledged to work with Queen Mutesi to put her financial expertise to good use in government.
“She told me she is a financial analyst, and I will ensure her qualifications are used effectively.” President Museveni heightened.
The President affectionately called the King “my son” and the Inhebantu his “daughter-in-law,” and promised the royal couple a gift of 100 cows in his statement
