The royal couple's tour of Africa marked their first joint visit outside the United Kingdom, and Uganda was one of the many countries they graced with their presence. Upon their arrival at Katunguru, they were warmly welcomed by the traditional ruler of Ankole, Mugabi, who extends his hand in a sign of friendship and respect. The Queen and the Duke are seen here in elegant attire, dressed for the occasion, as they engage in a friendly exchange with the local leader.
