Nana Konadu Yiadom III passed away on the morning of August 7, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of dedicated service to the Ashanti Kingdom. She was widely revered for her unwavering commitment to traditional leadership and the preservation of Ashanti cultural heritage.
A one-week remembrance was observed on August 21, 2025, at the forecourt of Manhyia Palace. The event drew a large and diverse crowd, a testament to her influence and the deep admiration she commanded both within and beyond the Kingdom.
In line with Ashanti tradition, all other funeral ceremonies across the region will be suspended from September 1 to 18, allowing the Kingdom to focus entirely on honoring the memory of the late Queen Mother.
As part of the final day’s observance on September 18, all shops and businesses in the Ashanti Region are expected to close to enable residents, dignitaries, and well-wishers to participate in the concluding rites.
The funeral is expected to attract thousands of mourners, including traditional leaders, government officials, and international guests, as the Kingdom bids a final farewell to one of its most esteemed royal figures.
