Princess Elizabeth of the kingdom of Toro . 

Full name Elizabeth Christobel Edith Bagaaya Akiiki

 In addition to her Royal title, she is a lawyer, politician, diplomat, model and actress. She briefly (February 1974 - November 1974) served as Minister of Foreign Affairs under Idi Amin.

After finishing elementary school, she was sent to Gayaza High School, a prestigious female boarding high school in Buganda, followed by Sherborne School for Girls, in England, where she was the only black student. “I felt that I was on trial and that my failure to excel would reflect badly on the entire black race.” she later wrote. After one year, she was accepted to Cambridge, the third African woman in the institution’s history. In 1962 she graduated from Cambridge with a law degree. 

The Princess is involved in Charity across the African continent and is now serving as Uganda’s Ambassador to Germany.
