SWAZILAND MONACHY

King Mswati III of Swaziland and one of his wives attends the Royal Wedding ceremony of Lesotho King Letsie III and his new wife Karabo Motsoeneng in Maseru in this February 18, 2000 file photograph. A royal ruckus is brewing over Swaziland King Mswati's taste for the high life. Mswati, sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarch, is no stranger to criticism for his lavish lifestyle. But the latest spate of royal excess has given new ammunition to banned opposition parties, some of whom argue the time has come to take a new look at how Swaziland is run. REUTERS/Juda Ngwenya
