A book of condolence has been officially opened at the Manhyia Palace, allowing dignitaries, traditional leaders, and members of the public to pay their heartfelt respects to the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III.<\/p>\n

Visitors to the palace have begun signing the book in honour of her memory and enduring legacy.<\/p>\n

Nana Konadu Yiadom III, who passed away on 7th August 2025 at the age of 98, was formally honoured and eulogised during an emergency meeting of the Asanteman Traditional Council, convened by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, on 11th August 2025.<\/p>\n
