The Buganda Kingdom has announced the death of Princess Diana Balizzamuggale Teyeggala Ndege, the youngest sister of Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II.
In a statement released on Saturday, the Kingdom said Princess Diana passed away at a medical facility in Kisubi after a period of illness. She was 59 years old.
Princess Diana was the last-born child of the late Ssekabaka Edward Muteesa II and Princess Catherine Karungu of Ankole. She was born in October 1966 while her father was in exile and never met him before his death.
The Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga, confirmed the passing and conveyed condolences on behalf of the Kabaka, the royal family and the entire Kingdom. He appealed to the public to remain calm and respect the privacy of the royal household during this time of mourning.
Beyond her royal background, Princess Diana was known for her quiet service in faith-based and community causes. She was particularly active within Uganda’s Buddhist community, where she supported education and spiritual development initiatives.
The Buganda Kingdom said details regarding funeral and burial arrangements will be communicated later.
