The royal couple announced the birth of the prince, who was born on November 1, 2026, describing the occasion as a moment of immense joy and gratitude to God.

The royal family also confirmed that both the Inhebantu and the newborn prince are in excellent health following the birth.
The announcement was accompanied by a biblical message from Psalm 127:3, which describes children as a blessing from God.
“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him,” the royal family quoted from the Bible.
The Kyabazinga and the Inhebantu also expressed appreciation to the people of Busoga, relatives, friends, and well-wishers for their prayers, love, and goodwill during this period.
