  • Did anyone else see Waldo in the crowd?

  • People aren't educated about the roots of polygamy, especially in Africa. It was done to make sure all widows and fatherless children (who had lost the man in war) were taken care of. It was done so the king would be connected to all clans through his wives, a diplomatic gesture, only if the king was a good leader who listened to his people. This king has millions to waste and his country is so poor and with very little freedoms. The opulence is insane, NOT tradition.

  • The Swati royal family was imposed by the British--they are an illegitimate monarchy!!! The Sihlangu's are the real bloodline of the Swati monarchy!!

  • @cannoir? Well for your information he does not want 30 wife's but the Pharaoh should make use off his wealth so if that is not that your busyness so don't blame him.

  • @Everett345? Who tolled you that the King have Aids u stupid! Do u thing his not gonna check them up for illnesses before he marry them or ur trying to play an intellectual war?

  • @tloutle50 wrong wrong wrong, the only reason why a widow would remarry is because she was married to the brother of her new husband.it was customary to pass the wife of the deceased sibling to hisbrother.Other then that men polygamy was never mandatory it is optional.In europe men have up to 4 mistresses and they marry only one woman.Ask schwarzenegger he'll tell you what dem white boys do when white women are pretending to not see.

  • @53Africa but english kings had one official wife and about 8 mistresses each and those mistresses bore children for them too.They lavished them with gifts.How is it any different ? He can marry 30 wives if he wants , all I have a problem with is his excessive spendings. At least he marries women he has children with
