The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has formally announced the passing of the Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, at the Manhyia Palace.
The announcement came during a mandatory sitting of the Asanteman Council, attended by all paramountcies and clans. A one-week observance for the late Queen Mother will be held on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
Nana Konadu Yiadom III passed away on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at the age of 98. She ascended to the role of Asantehemaa in 2017, following the death of her predecessor, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II, in 2016. Her official outdooring took place during the 67th birthday celebration of her brother, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace.
That occasion also saw the commissioning of the renovated ceremonial park named in honour of Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II. Situated opposite the Manhyia Museum, the park, with its lush artificial turf, has since hosted numerous royal and traditional ceremonies.
Nana Konadu Yiadom III was deeply respected for her influential role in the Asante Kingdom and her unwavering dedication to safeguarding its cultural heritage. Throughout her reign, she was a steadfast pillar of support to the Asantehene and the broader traditional authority.
