Many African leaders, both political and traditional, attended the Coronation of King Charles III 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.

His Majesty King Letsie III and Queen Masenate Mohato Seeiso of Lesotho

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.

The Asantehene (King) Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and HRH Lady Julia Osei Tutu of Ashanti, Ghana

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.

Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco

The Princess of Morocco looked gorgeous in a white and soft pink sari, it was regal, simple and beautiful.
