Uganda’s King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who became monarch of Tooro at just three years old, has died aged 34. The king’s death was announced Friday by Tooro’s prime minister, who described it as a profound loss for the royal family and the people of the kingdom. Oyo was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s youngest reigning monarch and formally took the throne after reaching adulthood. Tooro officials have not disclosed his cause of death, while his successor is expected to be a prince whose identity will be announced according to the kingdom’s traditions. #ugana #news #monarchy
