Nana Konadu Yiadom III Made Me Feel Safe And Welcome- Lady Julia

Asantehemaa Dɔte Yie: Lady Julia Condoles With Asantehene

Lady Julia Osei Tutu, the wife of the King of the Asante Kingdom, has reminisced with gratitude, the warm embrace she received from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law after her marriage to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

According to her, they gave her the feeling of home and family at the Manhyia Palace.

In her tribute to Nana Konadu Yiadom III, Lady Julia was full of gratitude for her warmth and love.

“Kotokohemaa, your ‘Obi dom bie’ says thank you for your warmth and generosity of spirit. Naana, when I first arrived at Manhyia, your warmth and gentle presence was one of the enduring comfort of my new home. It was also a comfort and a joy that you, my dear sister-in-law, shared the same name as my beloved mother Konadu.

“Together with your dear mother and my most cherished mother-in-law, Nana Afia Kobo Serwaa Ampem II, you both made me feel safe and welcome. This warmth between us persisted as you assumed the reins of Queen of our beloved Asante Kingdom.”

The burial service took place at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi as part of the final burial rites on September 18, 2025.

Present at the event were President John Dramani Mahama, Deputy Eswatini Prime Minister Senator Thulisile Dladla, Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Former Second Lady Samira Bawumia, former First Lady Nana Agyemang Konadu Rawlings, IGP Christian Yohunu, BoG Governor Dr Johnson Asiamah and others also joined.

The final day of the burial rites will later witness the laying to rest of the late Asantehemaa, with her ancestors at the royal mausoleum at Breman Abusuakruwa.

The rites commenced on Monday, September 15.

A key point to note is the institution of the restriction on outdoor movement effective 7 pm on September 18 to make way for the burial of Asantehemaa.

The Queen, who was the only remaining sibling of the Asantehene, passed away peacefully at her residence at the Manhyia Palace on August 7, 2025.
