Many African leaders, both political and traditional, attended the Coronation of King Charles at Westminster Abbey in London.

When it comes to pomp and pageantry, Africans will not be last, even though many royal families around the world were in attendance and they all looked magnificent.

Here is how African royalties who are members of the Commonwealth showed up at the Coronation:

His Majesty King Mswati III and Inkhosikati LaMbikiza of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland)

He wore an English suit, but the lady was the focal point of attention in a peach gown with the most beautiful ruffles. Her shoes and purse were red and gold and looked so captivating.

He wore a suit, but she was the star in a long flared blue gown with beautiful prints on it. Love the sleeves, they were beautiful and her hat was so appropriate for the event.

They were my best-dressed African couple. They represented Africans in a kante material complete with gold accessories. They were so different from others and gorgeous too.
