There is still monarchy in many countries of the world. In monarchy, the supreme ruler of a state is the king. However, his powers are limited by a constitution or law. This means that even after being the king, he is bound to obey the law of that country and cannot act arbitrarily.
The king of the country has many responsibilities, which he follows. It is the duty of the king to understand every pain and suffering of his people. The African country Swaziland is also included in the countries where monarchy still exists. You will be surprised to know the story of the king here.
On the completion of fifty years of independence of the country, the king here changed the name of the country to The Kingdom of Eswatini in the year 2018. This country is adjacent to South Africa in the African continent. This country, adjacent to the borders of South Africa and Mozambique, is often discussed because of its rule.
Every year in the country, the Umhlanga ceremony is organized in Ludzidzini, the royal village of the Queen's mother, in the month of August-September. More than 10 thousand virgin girls and children participate in this festival. The virgin girls dance in front of the king here.
According to a media report, the king chooses a queen every year from among the girls participating in the festival. The most surprising thing is that these girls dance in front of the king and his subjects without clothes. Many young women of the country opposed this tradition, while many girls refused to participate in this parade. When the king came to know about this, the families of those girls had to pay a heavy fine.
The King of the Kingdom of Eswatini has been accused of living a life of luxury while the majority of the population there lives in extreme poverty. King Mswati III had also visited India in 2015 to attend the 'India Africa Summit'.
King Mswati III brought along with him 15 wives, children and 100 servants. 200 rooms were booked for them in a five star hotel in Delhi in which they stayed. According to media reports, King Mswati III has assets worth more than 14 billion. He has 19 Rolls Royce, 20 Mercedes and 12 BMW cars.
