Muwenda Mutebi II of Buganda

Kabaka Ronald Edward Frederick Kimera Muwenda Mutebi II (born 13 April 1955) is the 36th Kabaka or king of the Kingdom of Buganda.

He was appointed as UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador for Ending AIDS among men in the Eastern and Southern Africa with a special focus on the Buganda Kingdom in Uganda.

He was born at Mulago Hospital. He is the son of Edward Frederick William David Walugembe Mutebi Luwangula Muteesa II, who reigned as Kabaka of Buganda between 1939 and 1969 and was the first person to hold the office of president of an independent Uganda from 1962 to 1966. His mother was Omuzaana Kabejja Sarah Nalule of the Nkima clan.

He was educated at Budo Junior School, King's Mead School in Sussex and Bradfield College, a public school in West Berkshire. He then entered Magdalene College, Cambridge. At the age of 11, he was appointed as Heir Apparent by his father on 6 August 1966. While in exile he worked as Associate Editor of the magazine African Concord and a member of the Executive Committee of the African National Congress (ANC) in London. On 21 November 1969, upon the death of his father, he succeeded as the Head of the Royal House of Buganda.

He returned to Uganda in 1988, following the removal of the Milton Obote regime and the military junta that briefly replaced Obote. He was proclaimed at Buddo in a coronation ceremony at Naggalabi on 31 July 1993 upon the constitutional restoration of kingdoms in Uganda that had been abolished by Milton Obote. He has been on the royal throne since then with his seat at Bulange building in Mengo, Kampala.
