The royal couple revealed the boys’ names as Prince William Ethan Nadiope and Prince Arnold Eli Nadiope, confirming that both the newborns and their mother are in excellent health. The joyful announcement was officially shared today, marking a deeply cherished milestone for the royal household and the people of Busoga.
What words did Kyabazinga share along with the announcement of the Royal birth?
“With profound joy and heartfelt gratitude, I am delighted to formally announce the birth of our twin sons: Prince William Ethan Nadiope and Prince Arnold Eli Nadiope.”
“The arrival of the newborns marks a deeply cherished milestone in our family’s journey, and we are overwhelmed and humbled by the magnitude of this double blessing. Both newborns, along with their remarkable mother, are in high spirits and excellent health.”

“We look forward to the opportunity to introduce our sons to you in due course. May God’s blessings be upon you all. Busoga Okwisania N’amanhi.”
The Princes: A Double Blessing
The twin princes, born just days before the Kyabazinga’s upcoming 11th coronation anniversary on September 13, have been described as a “double blessing.” While the palace has not disclosed the exact hospital where the children were born, it emphasized that the Inhebantu and the babies are in high spirits and thriving.
How the News Reached the Public
The official statement was first shared on social media by the Kyabazinga and later echoed across major media houses and Busoga platforms. Baba TV highlighted the announcement during its September 1st morning broadcast, with royal representatives affirming the significance of the moment to the kingdom.
A Royal Love Story: From Wedding to Parenthood
Her Royal Highness Jovia Mutesi became Inhebantu of Busoga following her historic wedding to the Kyabazinga on November 18, 2023. The ceremony, held at Christ’s Cathedral Bugembe in Jinja City, was followed by a grand reception at Igenge Palace. It was the first royal wedding in Busoga since 1956, attracting dignitaries, religious leaders, and thousands of well-wishers.
Today’s announcement of twin princes adds a new chapter to that remarkable love story, symbolizing continuity and unity for the kingdom.
Significance for Busoga
The arrival of twin heirs is seen as a moment of renewal for the Busoga Kingdom. With coronation celebrations just around the corner, the timing of the births has further uplifted the spirits of the people. Messages of congratulations have poured in from across Uganda, celebrating what many describe as a divine blessing and a bright sign for the future of Busoga.
Is it true that Kyabazinga and INEBANTU used IVF to guarantee twin babies?
The royal announcement also sparked speculation online, with some users suggesting that the twins might have been conceived through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). A post on X by Nabbajja Cecile described IVF babies as “planned babies,” congratulating the royal couple. This prompted KFM presenter Faiza to jump into the conversation, asking tongue-in-cheek: “Wait, that stuff guarantees twins?” Her comment ignited a lively debate, with some followers claiming IVF allows parents to “choose” multiples, while others quickly pointed out the challenges and realities of assisted conception.
Medical experts, however, clarify that IVF does not guarantee twins. According to reproductive health specialists, twins occur in IVF mainly when more than one embryo is transferred into the uterus, which increases the likelihood of multiple pregnancies. Even then, it is not a certainty, and success depends on factors such as maternal age, embryo quality, and overall health. Doctors also caution that IVF carries risks, including failed cycles and possible complications, which is why patients are always counseled before treatment.
