- Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has revealed that his wife, Lady Julia, has been a pillar all these years
When talking about Kings, their partners hardly come into the picture.
The case looks different with Lady Julia, the wife of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene.
Speaking to Graphic Online at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi last Saturday, April 13, 2019, as part of his 20 Years on the Golden Stool anniversary celebration, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said "being Asantehene is demanding and you need to have a wife who understands you."

The Asantehene observed that the strides made by the Serwaa Ampem Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, named after his mother, the late Asantehemaa, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II, attested to the industrious nature of his wife.
He added that she has also been the pillar of the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Charity Foundation (OOCTF) where she chairs the Board of Trustees.
