Joy and jubilation have filled the Nadiope royal household following the birth of twin princes — a rare and treasured blessing for the royal family and the people of Busoga.
Born on August 27, the newborns, Prince William Ethan Nadiope and Prince Arnold Eli Nadiope, were announced to be in good health, along with their mother.
The royal couple, King William Wilberforce Gabula Nadiope IV and Queen Jovia Mutesi, are fondly remembered for their historic wedding on November 18, 2023 — a cultural event that drew nationwide attention. Since then, many had quietly speculated about the delay in the Queen bearing children.
The joyous announcement, officially broken on Monday, September 1, 2025, has therefore been received with overwhelming excitement and gratitude.
The news has sparked waves of goodwill and congratulatory messages from relatives, friends, and subjects across the kingdom and beyond. For many, the arrival of the princes is not just a family celebration but also a cultural milestone for Busoga.
Reports from Bugembe indicate that plans are underway to formally introduce the twins to the public, though for now the family is focused on thanksgiving and quiet celebration.
The announcement carried the phrase “Busoga Okwisania N’amanhi” — underscoring that the blessing extends beyond the royal home to the entire community.
Busoga Kingdom Prime Minister, Dr. Joseph Muvawala, was among the first to send congratulations. On his official Twitter account, he wrote: “I am delighted to congratulate HRH @KingNadiopeIV and the Inhebantu upon the birth of twin sons. We thank the Almighty God for His blessings.”
