A Ugandan television journalist and prince is set to be crowned king of the Tooro Kingdom on Tuesday. The succession follows the death of the kingdom's previous "boy king" last month, an event that triggered widespread grief.
The upcoming coronation takes place amid a bitter succession dispute within the traditional monarchy. The royal clan does not recognize a competing young heir, leading to contention surrounding the new king's accession to the throne.
