Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's Howard University visit
The two young royals were present as part of their father's trip to the historically Black university in the United States on Wednesday, August 26, 2026.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the paramount ruler of the Asante Kingdom and one of Ghana's most globally recognised traditional leaders, visited Howard to deliver a distinguished lecture.
The Asantehene's visit was sponsored by the Millennium Excellence Foundation (MEF), a pan-African non-profit organisation dedicated to celebrating excellence in leadership, governance and entrepreneurship across the continent.
The distinguished lecture centred on themes of governance, cultural preservation and traditional leadership, with particular focus on the enduring relationship between Ghana and the global African diaspora.
The engagement was intended to create a platform for exchange between the Asantehene and the Howard University community, bringing together scholarship, culture and discussions on the advancement of people of African descent.
The footage shared by The Asante Nation captured a congenial, celebratory exchange between the children and another individual, radiating the kind of warmth that has endeared the royal family to many across the continent and its diaspora.
Their mother, Lady Julia Osei Tutu, was not visible in the clip, though the resemblance between her and her daughter did not go unnoticed by fans watching online.
