WE have been wondering what became of the dazzling actress/singer/ and CBS radio presenter, princess Sheillah Nvannungi since the station closed last year.
Tabloid speculation had indicated she was involved in a sex TV show. Well, we have since learnt otherwise from the horse’s mouth. She is starring in Undercover Princesses, a reality TV show on BBC 3 that premiered in the UK last Sunday. However, Ugandans in the UK dispute her royalty. Princess Elizabeth Mpologoma, who claims to be a sister of Kabaka Ronald Mwenda Mutebi, stated on Ugandans at heart, a social networking internet forum, that the late Prince George Juuko, whom Nvannungi claims to be her father, died in 1971, 11 years before Nvannugi’s date of birth – January 1, 1982.
Nvannungi is part of a trio of real life princesses who go undercover in Essex in a quest to find love. The others are Princess Xenia of Saxony, Germany, who descends from one of the most powerful royal families in Europe and Princess Aaliya Sultana Babi, of Balasinor in India, who is 35 and still has not found love.
The three live in a house in Ingatestone, and go undercover in Chelmsford. They pretend to be ordinary women and do ordinary jobs in the hope of meeting a Mr. Right who would love them for who they are.
Xenia works at Options hairdressers on Broomfield Road; Nvannungi works at Chester’s Café on Viaduct Road, and Aaliya works in Essex County Cricket Club’s shop, in High Chelmer. In the series, they take part in the dating scene – visiting nightclubs, bars and supermarkets as well as going on blind dates.
At the end the three women reveal their identity to their chosen ones and invite them to their homeland.
