Published on July 18, 2019, Uhuru Kenyatta's family has been making headlines with the birth of his first grandchild, Wanjiru. Born in November 2017, Wanjiru is the daughter of Uhuru's son, Jomo, and his wife Fiona Achola.
Wanjiru was named after the first lady, Margaret Kenyatta. This year, the little princess will turn three, marking a significant milestone in her life.
Wanjiru was spotted at the Lewa Marathon together with her parents, Jomo and Fiona Achola. The event was a rare public appearance for the family, who are known for being notoriously private about their life.
According to sources, the security in the VIP tent was high, and it was only later that people realized Jomo was walking around solo without any security detail. One source even expressed regret for not asking for a selfie with Jomo.
Wanjiru's parents, Jomo and Fiona Achola, got married in a highly publicized Kenyan royal wedding at State House. However, the event was so hush-hush that not even a single photo leaked, and guests were asked to leave their phones at the reception area.
Wanjiru's appearance at the Lewa Marathon has sparked interest in the public, with many eager to catch a glimpse of the young princess. As she turns three, Wanjiru is sure to continue making headlines in the coming years.
