Timeline

1936

Princess Elizabeth of Tooro (Elizabeth Christobel Edith Bagaaya Akiiki; born 9 February 1936 ) was the Batebe (Princess Royal) of the Kingdom of Tooro until September 12, 1995, when she was succeeded by Omubiitokati Ruth Nsemere Komuntale.

She is a Ugandan lawyer, politician, diplomat, and model.

She was the first East African woman to be admitted to the English Bar.

She is a paternal aunt (Isenkati) of the Omukama of Tooro, Rukidi IV.

The Princess was born in 1936 to Rukidi III of Tooro, the eleventh Omukama of Tooro who reigned between 1928 and 1965.

Her mother was Queen Kezia, a daughter of Nikodemo Kakoro, a senior chief.

Her title from birth was Omubiitokati or Princess.

After finishing elementary school from the present Kyebambe Girls' Secondary School, she was sent to Gayaza High School, a girls' boarding school in Buganda, followed by Sherborne School for Girls in England, where she was the only black student.

"I felt that I was on trial and that my failure to excel would reflect badly on the entire black race," she later wrote.

After one year, she was accepted into Girton College, Cambridge, the third African woman to be admitted to the University of Cambridge in the institution's history.

1962

In 1962, she graduated from Cambridge with a law degree.

1965

Three years later, in 1965, the princess became a barrister-at-law as a member of Gray's Inn, becoming the first woman from East Africa to be called to the English Bar.

Around this time, her father died, and her brother Patrick David Matthew Kaboyo Olimi was enthroned as Olimi III, the twelfth Omukama of Tooro, who reigned from 1965 until 1995.

At the coronation, Elizabeth received the title and office of Batebe (Princess Royal), which traditionally made her the most powerful woman in the Tooro Kingdom and the most trusted adviser of the king.

King Fredrick Mutesa II of Buganda, another of Uganda's traditional kingdoms, was now the president, with Prime Minister Milton Obote.

Barely one year after the coronation of the Omukama Olimi III, Obote attacked the Buganda Palace, sending Edward Muteesa II into exile, and declared himself president.

Soon, he abolished all Ugandan traditional kingdoms, including the Tooro Kingdom.

Elizabeth was afraid for her brother's life, but he escaped to London.

Elizabeth later completed an internship at a law firm, and became Uganda's first female lawyer.

She was a virtual prisoner in her own country until Princess Margaret of the United Kingdom sent her an invitation to model in a charity fashion show.

The princess was a smash hit, and soon became a highly successful fashion model, being featured in many magazines.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis met Elizabeth at a party, and convinced her to move to New York City.

1971

In 1971, Obote was overthrown by General Amin, and Elizabeth returned to Uganda.

Amin's rule was arguably even more repressive than Obote's, with Amin executing and imprisoning many people.

1974

She briefly served as Minister of Foreign Affairs under President Idi Amin from February to November 1974.

In 1974, Amin appointed Elizabeth minister of foreign affairs.

1975

In February 1975, Elizabeth escaped to Kenya, then to Vienna, then to London.

Four years later, Elizabeth returned to Uganda to help with the country's first free national elections, which were won by Obote, who continued killing his enemies.

1980

Elizabeth and her lover, Prince Wilberforce Nyabongo, son of Prince Leo Sharp Ochaki, escaped to London in 1980 and married in 1981.

1984

In 1984, Elizabeth played the part of Shaman in the Columbia Pictures film Sheena: Queen of the Jungle

1985

Finally in 1985, Obote was overthrown and following a brief period of military rule, was replaced by Yoweri Museveni.

1986

In 1986, Elizabeth was appointed ambassador to the United States, a job she held until 1988.

Later that year, Nyabongo, an aviation engineer, was killed in a plane crash at the age of 32.

1992

Following the death of her husband, Elizabeth opted to leave public service and get involved in charity work, in addition to being an official guardian of her brother's son, Rukidi IV, who was born in 1992 and has been the reigning Tooro monarch since 1995.

Following a period of service as Uganda's Ambassador to Germany and the Vatican, Elizabeth accepted an appointment as Uganda's High Commissioner to Nigeria.
