Remember this one, kiddies?
King Mswati of Swaziland has chosen a teenager to be his 13th wife.
Phindile Nkambule, 17, was revealed to the public when she took part in a traditional Reed Dance ceremony, in which girls perform before the king...
According to custom, King Mswati, 37, will marry Phindile Nkambule once she becomes pregnant.
She is reported to have caught the king's eye during the main annual Reed Dance in late August, when tens of thousands of bare-breasted girls took part in a traditional rite of Spring.
Ms Nkambule is younger than the king's first daughter, Princess Sikhanyiso, who turned 18 this month.
She will now wear royal loin cloths when she appears in public and has dropped out of school in order to be groomed as the monarch's wife.
