Swazi Royalty. She ruled as the Queen of Eswatini (Swaziland) from 1999 until her death in 2018. Also known as Inkhosikati LaMasango. In 1999, she was chosen by Mswati III, the King of Eswatini (Swaziland) to be his new bride. The two eventually married that same year when the king was 31 years old and she was just 18 years old. She became his eighth wife and she was named Queen Senteni Masango. The two would go on and have two children together. During this time the queen also became involved in several local charity groups and organizations in Swaziland. One organization even sold her paintings to the general public to raise funds. During her marriage, a newspaper editor for the Times of Swaziland named Bheki Makhubu published stories that the queen had a record for truancy, poor grades, and was a high-school dropout and a rebel. It was also revealed that the queen had suffered abuse and neglect in the royal household. This led to severe depression and the queen eventually left the royal palace and moved into a mansion in 2015. Although still married to the king, he never visited the queen in the three years that she lived in the mansion. Her last public appearance was at a dance at the Marula Festival in 2018. Later that year it was reported that her sister had died. The queen herself still suffering from severe depression, passed away on April 6, 2018, at the age of 37.
