The durbar was held on June 26, 2025, as a royal gathering of chiefs organised by the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to honour the Ngwenyama of Eswatini.

Royal leaders from several Asante provinces, including Ejisuhemaa Nana Yaa Asantewaa II, Offisomanhene Nana Dwamena Akenten II and his wife, and Essumegyahene Odeneho Nana Okyere Kusi, who is revered as the head of all Akans, were present at the durbar.

The Ngwenyama of Eswatini, who arrived in Ghana on June 24 for a four-day visit to the Asante Kingdom aimed at strengthening diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties between the two nations, was honoured at the durbar.

The king's family, comprising his wife, Her Royal Highness Inkhosikati LaMagongo and his eldest child, Princess Sikhanyiso Dlamini, took turns to exchange pleasantries with the Otumfuo and the people of the Ashanti region.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh the 37-year-old princess, who was formerly Eswatini's Minister of Information, Communication and Technology, walked gracefully and bowed before the Asantehene.

She had a miniature Ghana flag in her hand while flaunting her Swazi pride from her hairstyle to her outfit.

The Otumfuo took time to talk to the Eswatini king's daughter, unlike most of his other guests.

Princess Sikhanyiso's privileged moments intrigue many fans who have been tuned into the typical Asante pomp and pageantry since the Eswatini entourage arrived in Ghana.
