EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, King Daubi Chwa, the Kabaka of Buganda, is seen in the company of his beloved consort, Queen Irene, and his esteemed ministers at Mengo Palace during the Duke and Duchess of York's visit to Uganda in 1925. The Duke and Duchess of York, later known as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, were on an official tour of British colonies in Africa, and Uganda was one of their stops. During their visit to Mengo Palace, King Daubi Chwa was invested with the Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George (K.C.M.G.) by the Duke. This prestigious honor was bestowed upon the Kabaka in recognition of his loyalty and service to the British Crown. The Kabaka of Buganda, an important traditional ruler in Uganda, sat regally on his throne, adorned in his royal regalia, while Queen Irene, his consort, stood by his side. The ministers of the kingdom, dressed in their traditional attire, looked on with pride and respect as the investiture ceremony took place. The Duke and Duchess of York were welcomed warmly by the Kabaka and his court, and their visit was marked by various ceremonial events and cultural displays. This photograph captures a moment of history, showcasing the traditional African monarchy of Buganda in the presence of the British royalty. The investiture ceremony marked a significant moment in the relationship between the British monarchy and the traditional African rulers, symbolizing the recognition of the importance of African leaders in the colonial administration. The image of the Kabaka and his consort, Queen Irene, in the company of the Duke and Duchess of York, is a testament to the complex and intriguing history of colonialism and African royalty in Uganda.
