- When an African prince and a white middle-class clerk from Lloyd's underwriters got married in 1948, it provoked shock in Britain and Africa. Seretse Khama met Ruth Williams while he was a student at Oxford University. After his studies, he was supposed to go home to the British Protectorate of Bechuanaland (now Botswana) and marry someone from his own tribe, but his romance with Williams changed everything. His family disapproved and Khama was forced to renounce his claim to the throne. The British government came under pressure to show its disapproval and Khama was exiled from his homeland. He later became the first president of Botswana when it became an independent country. Witness spoke to Ruth Williams's sister about the love that conquered prejudice.

Then he went on to become President and reformed Botswana into one of the finest countries in Africa.
True, there hasn’t been a single coup d’état or violent change of government since the countries founding. They’re doing something right
Botswana was what happens when a country has a good ending
For which I am very grateful. Ruth knew a good man when she saw one.
@@Edmonton-of2ec Shut up racist degenerate
Thank you for your comment. #MyBotswana #MyPride
Forget The Crown, I want a Netflix series about these two! 😭💖
There is a movie called ‘United Kingdom’.
They should get actors from our country Botswana

I'm from South Africa. Where are you from Joepie?
Ik kom uit Nederland.
Recently watched a video about how Botswana turned into one of the richest country right now, and it is credit to Seretse Khama's leadership. Amazing story of both the person and the country. And this, love is love.
Not one of the richest but its doing incredibly well. Should become rich in like a couple of decades
Africas 1st world nation.
Basically its a province of South Africa and it has very low population. That's how its relatively well off

I'm from Botswana and we had 50 years of independence yesterday. How nice looking back. This changed history. I LOVE THIS.
Hate seeing all these racists in the comment section. DISGUSTING!
Are you asian? Just curious.
I'm black. Why?
Laela Kazmi I thought you were the guy in your profile picture and I was curious if an asian guy lived in an african country.
do you know what happened to his children.. are they not the legitimate rulers...
nothing wrong with a man and woman falling in love
It is when that love is simply fetishism and lust
Island Boy I see what you did there
Kimberley Tetteh and why do you think it is like that? YOU must be a fetishizer and that's why you're labeling these people
Claudia Deeley your evil demon who feed on your bitter life
DeeDee Nicole 123 oh wow 😂😂 year ago what did I do there 😂😂
Sometimes, our own "kind" doesn't even know how to love and treat us right. So as for me, I will always stand by this," my heart knows no bounds and my love doesn't see colour". One world, one people, one love. Peace
Amen
🤦🏿♀️Sometimes our own (women) have to take ownership for falling in love-choosing the wrong own kind.
Our own kind show signs of who they are if he treats his lovingly mom like a mom or callous and uncivil because she's been a MOTHER to him and a mom to her man.
How he treated his previous woman or other women. How he treated you (didn't want to accept the signs the rude remarks, the cheating, when he didn't give you his last bite of food or if you had to supply all his basic needs like his mother ) How he treats the help or our kind in general. If he treats descendants of cave dwellers than our kind.
If our own pass the test of all above signs listed and still mistreated you, he either wants a descendant of cave dwellers both genders or a man- of our own kind.
I have a own kind that treats me like a Queen.
However, history has shown us that descendant of cave dwellers are evildoers. Diabolical creatures. Everywhere they go they've colonized. They've created destruction and violent deaths. They want gore. They've raped,molested.
They are racist. They are unholy and ungrateful.
The have the wicked spirit of entitlement.
They are venomous and bloodthirsty.
They act uncivilized and demonic especially to our kind-We are the Alpha and Omega of all civilizations. Even if, I chose the wrong own kind a would have search my soul and try to figure out why I chose him. Ask my Almighty Creator and our good ancestors known and unknown to guide me to choose
my own kind wisely next time.
If I was the last own kind on earth and left with either gender descendant of cave dwellers- I would be prepared to slaughter or slaughter 1st, because it would be a matter of time before that descendant of neanderthal tried to cut off my limbs or slaughtered me.
Please,excuse mistakes,my illness is the culprit for brain fog.
Alexandra Bolden No. black women don’t have to take ownership of anything black men do. Black sons need to be raised better instead of putting shit on the black woman. It’s getting increasingly annoying how wrong black women are treated by their own men.
Amen
@@audreyf9092 You misunderstood what I meant- No! Certainly not for his or anyone's wicked behavior, but take ownership to why they chose to stay when they've shown signs -When someone shows you who they are believe them- Mayo Angelou
I've known several or heard of our B(b)lack women who continue to get in toxic relationships.
My childhood friend of 35 years had been divorced for 10 years ( he never really loved her. He only he divorced her she didn't divorce him.
She didn't really know him, she met him via the telephone he was someone's military buddy.
He paid for her round trip flights to see him, they really didn't date much.
He was constantly in trouble, and his 1st SGT suggested he get married and settle down. So he married her only after 2months.
(He cheated on her all the time and with her friend who came to visit her) single mom of 2 started dating again, after their 1st enjoyable imitate encounter (at her home) he stayed away 3 weeks without calling, emailing or texting she told him before their encounter how self conscious and vulnerable she was about her body and being used.
He cheated throughout the relationship,and she witnessed him knocked his ex girlfriend's tooth out because she said something he didn't like.
He didn't have a job,his own place or car. He lived with his mother he treats like a good mom because she coddles him and condones his evilness.
He can do no wrong in his mom's eyes. Hell, evidently my friend's eyes
Well,because my friend loves/loves him so much (why I've never understood ) she finally married him 5 years later on Valentine's Day. Even though, she's providing all his needs for like she's his mommy and he's been demonic to her.
On the day of their 1st anniversary he left her for a girl he had a CRUSH on in middle school. He left my friend and rubbed it in her face with candy and flowers he brought with my friend's money for his middle school CRUSH.
My friend fell apart. She had signs before getting married
He never worked,he almost choked my friend to death because she told him he needed to get a job so can contribute, stop using her money and car to date his side chick/hens.
She couldn't function as mom or on her job.
We all chipped in with the care of her children and bills. Her job didn't terminate her because she was always a good and dependable worker. (She would have been, but she had to so she pay for everything) Her boss never like her sociopathic husband. So,they gave her 90 days to get herself together. Unfortunately his demon possessed a$$ returned like 2 months later after the middle school CRUSH (they never had sex) used him until her husband returned from somewhere( no one knows from where)
My friend 17 years later her older, her 2 children have babies of their on.
She has two sons with this evil nut, 12 and 14 witnessing daily tornadoes,hurricanes and occasionally a Tsunami. She's still the only worker,he still cheats and use her money for whatever he wants.
Back to why I made that statement
I still wouldn't date,marry or marry not nan descendant of violent neanderthal. Generation after generations
DIRECTLY and indirectly they are all complicit of upholding the atrocities done unto our people
Again,please,excuse any and all mistakes,my illness is the culprit for my brain fog
This story was depicted in a movie called “A United Kingdom” really good movie.
Yes I watched it too nice love story
Thanks for the info
I'm going to watch it thanks.
On what platform did you watch it please?
Yep ! Was such a great movie !
One thing they didn't mention is that their son is currently the president of Botswana!
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Khama
chf gbp: Honestly I have no opinion about his presidency. I just thought it's a fun fact!
That is a terribly flawed opinion, and I call it opinion because I'm confident you based it on nothing. There is not a soul in Botswana that regards Seretse Khama as a 'privileged African oppressor' (if you can find one you would be outstanding indeed) , for the simple reason that he wasn't one. He was, if you can believe it, a good leader worthy of 'cooing'.
Ooh good
Thabiso Mokokwane I agree with you, as far as I know Botswana is much better governed than the DRCongo ...They have good leaders who cares about it people.

The man that made Botswana the fastest growing economy in the world.
I met Ruth. Top lady. Used to go to my parents restaurant and she was the patron of my primary school. Seretse Khama gave everything to his country and people. He was a gentleman president (yes they existed) and after he passed she missed him dearly. Lovely story out of beautiful Botswana!!!
Handsome man and a sweet woman... what a beautiful couple!
Critic224 handsome???? You wouldn't know handsome If it sat on your face
Kimberley Tetteh did you woke up in the wrong side of the morning dear?
"did you wake"
Kimberley Tetteh beauty is in eye of the beholder
well on the bright side, if you were female you would just smile and give a sigh of contentment!!
im white and my boyfriend is black and we get mocked at all the time. we don't care though, we try to ignore it. I love him with all my heart
it's elena I am a black lady, people should have the freedom to choose who they want to date, or marriage,
I have two sons an a daughter, I always have told them, they can choose which person to date as long as they are happy, I don’t see a race, I see people, just like different color of flowers in a gardens or parks
So...?
Frederick Wells riiiiight 😑😑
I been in interacial relationship before and people often asked why are you dating a white guy i went it doesn't matter about what color we are we all bleed the same i see him as a kind loving person not because of his race but his heart

Just watched the movie "A United Kingdom" about these wonderful brave people,a must watch.
Beautiful. Ive watched as well
I love this story so much. its so romantic and they didn't care about what others thought of their relationship... it always makes me happy to see that 😊❤

They should make a movie about this.

Thanks. I hadn't heard about it.

Wrong.
RussiaNukesAmerica3 how you figure that
Alxmir23
I'll put it this way; what if Prince Charles of the U.K., for example, couldn't help it and fell for an African woman...case closed.
RussiaNukesAmerica3 sure,theres other factors.im not saying you can be able to love who you want,but you still cant change it. if prince charles loves an african woman,he wouldnt be able to be with her,but it wouldnt stop him from loving her
like julius caesar and mark antony.they loved cleopatra.it didnt please the senate
they promised that the only way cleopatra would visit rome would be dead,dragged behind a chariot
+RussiaNukesAmerica3 he would have met the fate of Princess Diana, after she decided to marry a middle eastern man.
Falling in love is the best gift u will ever find in life period!!!

One of the most iconic couples in history! Love their story
Absolutely beautiful...LOVE IS LOVE, no matter the color...
Sounds like you're purposely trying to make her depressed and have low self esteem, but tbh black, hispanic and asian people hear this all their lives so it's a bit futile. They're still living. Probably happier than you since they're not trolling the internet lol

Although I don’t date outside of my race, I can’t stand people who are against others doing it. Everyone has the right to love who they love and although it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it should be respected.
@darrell1903 So?
What are your reasons for not dating outside your race?
It's illegal to date outside the human race.

@@aalphasplatt1153 That is a very stupid questions. There are people who find others in there culture/ race the most attractive period.
If people could see them as two souls who love each other than a white woman and a black man things would be so different.

Love is a gift and should be embraced as such. Public approval or disapproval should not matter.
And their son eventually became the president of Botswana
They left out the part where Kharma laid the foundation for one of the best run nations in Africa. (Botswana) 😃

I am from Botswana I love this story so much.love is everything.Pula!!
I lived in Botswana in Gabs as a kid. My mum was standing in the queue at the checkout at the hypermarket as their son one day. Very normal, nice family. My dad met seretse khama at a party, he's quite proud of it!
"he said well i certainly married the right women"
GOD Please send me a proud husband who has a wife like me
Late comment, but instead of praying to god to send you the right man, focus instead on working on yourself, to become the best possible version of you, and eventually the right person will appear in your life :)
Such a beautiful story. ♥️ They loved each other despite the opposition and were brave to follow their hearts. God bless them both 🥰
In heaven... They are both dead...
The President passed away in 1980 and his wife in 2002...
This is among one of the famous love stories of the British Empire, when racism, due to Apartheid.... The whites(then) just could not marry their sons/daughters to a black man of no importance(actually he would go on to be one)
The reason that Britain intervened on the issues is due to.... SOUTH AFRICA
Now, you see, Britain was developing its nuclear program, and they need uranium for that, and it turns out, South Africa has one of the largest reserves of this commodity on the plant🌍🌍🌍, so it needed it's support
The other thing is, despite South Africa being an independent country, it would have provided its resources as part of the Empire and Commonwealth, as well as the leverage to extract as well... So to lose both of these leverages would not be an ideal situation....
But despite, literally pressure from the UK(a great power), South Africa and its local tribes, they persevered, despite Seretse's exile, they continued their romantic life and started a family...
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE..
That is the aliment to prevent broken families no more....
Amazing story. Love transcends all barriers
Sometimes. These people found the strength they needed. Others don't always! ❤️
Pls be specific, Which people?
It's a damn shame of Society in the World, that falling in love with someone, who is from a different background/ethnic group or whatever, is a crime...REALLY!?!
U sound like small boy
lol u are funny

I wouldn't give up the opportunity to connect with someone deeply just because they have a different skin colour.
Race is not skin colour though.
@@rightwingreactionary it is there is almost no real genetic diferneces between hhmans where all the same spiecies
Im thankful for people like them paving the way for families like mine. And he was a very handsome man. She reminds me of my best friend, who married interracially 40+ years ago. One of only a few people I know married so long.
Love.only.
Love is universal. Period.
I'm sorry but I don't believe true love exists anymore. No one is willing to sacrifice their lives for love like they did in the olden days... everything now is measured in money, especially love.
WeirdArtChick5 True love DOES exist. Jesus Christ gave His life for you, and for everyone else, and there's no greater love than that.
+Bexy Evans, you know perfectly well that that is *not* what that person was referring to.
The Space Out If you're talking about other people, I can understand. Finding people like that are rare.
I completely and absolutely agree with you 100%
You need to surround yourself with better people.
I know many people who love deeply and selflessly.
Beautiful story. I watched the film and cried at the bit where the village women accepted Ruth by singing her a song.
The whole world can be against you but when there's truth and love, then NOTHING can overcome it!
There is greek myth that says that in the begging there were no Men and women, all humans were combined, they had 4 arms and 4 legs. Zeus split them up and made man and woman, from that every one tried to Find their other half again. Seretse and Ruth are such an example
Come on! 😂😂😂😂😂
What an amazing love story, and a beautiful family.
As a USA American, I've never heard of this epic & revolutionary relationship. One would think this kind of prejudice foolishness would be long gone by now, nearly 70 years later.
I shall research the topic.
Thank you BBC.
Elaine Marie I believe there is a movie coming out soon.
Epic and revolutionary!!!???...He was a king married to a typist...lmao.
Good on them for hanging in there despite what I'm sure was a horrible amount of prejudice preconception and manipulation.
ive loved a handsome afro.am man for 10 years now..everywhere i lived..everyone i met ask me about my life and why was i so in love with this man who was afro.am plus over 25 yrs older..because he is whom God put in my life..to love.we still arent wed..we live in the same complex..but his daughters live with him..whom are my age...but..i am miserable without him..at least..this way..i can visit him sometimes...give me some encouraging words..folks...
Wanda Ratcliffe Let love rule and never let anyone come between you! Is your love returned by him? Someone very close to me (white woman) had to end their relationship with a wonderful black man in about 1970 bc he got beaten badly & put in hospital for being with her. They loved each other. She didn't want him or her children she already had to get killed, terrorized, destroyed by stress, unable to get jobs etc. So she ended the relationship, which was very painful. He wanted to make it work. I hate that their love had to end. What encouragement do you specifically need? I will give it! 💜💙💛
awe..thanks..so much..well..as our relationship goes..yes..he shows me the honest heart of his love..my first love was also AF...am..and much older..William will be 80 in 2017..but can pass for 50 something..I am 44 and most think I'm 30 something..so..but..I love the man can't picture my life without him

He was up untill April of 2019...i am featuring the story on my channel soon
Much note than chieftaincy!!!!!!!
He's not been the president for several years now
Greatest love story that survived against the odds. True love conquers all, amazing story.
He fought to become the first president of the second poorest country in the world at that time. Very strong stuff, especially deliberately structuring Africa's first ever multi racial, multi party democracy.
I truly will never understand how people can be so hateful and angry about people who are in love
No wonder why today Bostwana is the richest country in terms of GDP per CAPITA in Africa. This man is hugely responsible for the success story of Bostwana
I don’t think it was mentioned in the video but there was a movie made about them.
It is called ‘United Kingdom’ .
Definitely worth watching
Love knows no limitations. The heart doesn't see skin color.
What beautiful story
Fun fact: Despite renouncing his chieftancy title that gave him prominence in his home country forever He returned as a private citizen and got involved in local politics. He fought for the independence of Botswana and became her first President from 1966 to his death (1980). This union Produced two boys, one of whom by the name Ian Khamer, went on to become the President of Botswana for ten years( =2 terms max allowed by law) from 2008 to 2018.
3 boys actually. The other 2 are twins
somtitious Woow his family was blessed
Botswana is one of the most stable African countries and economically sound . I stand to be corrected if am wrong
KHAMA
@@sylversserubiri2273 yeap ...you are correct
Botswana is a wonderful place ruled by good people I lived in the country most of my young married years back in SA now but I have very fond memories of the people my friends my family still lives there it's truly a remarkable place
amazing story, it's weird that the media doesn't mention this story a lot
Wonderful video, Can't wait to see the movie.
rajesh4cat
Love how they are both prepared to give up everything to be together. The best bit is they were unstoppable. I think the friction made him an even better leader of his country and drove him to accomplish more ✨💯🏆🎉🎉
I went through this too...Just not publicly because my west African husband was not a chief. The years passed the children grew..my son chose a bajan wife and now...big old white grandma gets tired of saying "Yes!! my biological grandson!!" when people see me and my 6'7" basketball playing fine young dark skinned black grandson, hugging in the street. A lot has changed over the years..but sadly a lot hasn't too..
They must have been made out of some strong stuff to deal with all the disapproval of their marriage from all sides.
They were the rulers of an independent country surrounded by racist,white ruled Rhodesia,South West Africa and South Africa.
I love this story. My maternal grandparents had an interracial marriage about 35 years before this one in the early 1900s.
There seems to be a phenomenal grace and solidity to this cross-continental as well as cross-cultural marriage - a rarity in any marriage, let alone one confronting such extreme intolerance and hostility!
When a man finds the right woman, he is unstoppable.
Imagine being a tribal chief, an Oxford graduate and a QC in the 60s - unstoppable! Was a wonderful mix for Botswana
So touching
Both are really brave
He didn't let hate get over him and ruin the country with a revengeful mindset like Botswana's neighbours did. This is the power of forgiveness and most importantly LOVE.💪🥰
Am proud of them they are proud humans they did it their way ❤️❤️
Nothing more powerful than true Love.. Amazing real story..
Love knows no colour
How cruel of the World, but he showed his true colours, he loved her & gave up everything for that love. Glad we get to honour that love now
BBC。world。news
love is love no matter what colour, creed, religion, social background, ethnicity...it's love and not many of us would be that lucky and blessed to find love and remain in love....

Shatteringly moving. Thank you, Muriel, for recounting your sister's story, which must have been painful to revisit. For the support that you and your family gave Ruth. Above all, for showing this generation (at a time when doubts are being cast) how demonstrably ingrained was racism in the British establishment, even within my living parents' youth. Churchill (controversially censured as a racist) was arguably more ruefully sympathetic in his summation: 'brave. But he was accurate. I was slack-jawed, seeing how our government persecuted this attractive and charismatic and couple, even after their marriage. Still more revolting was the attitude of the Church, that had brought them together, yet which took measures so fundamentally contrary to Christ's teachings. A few years later, no doubt inspired by Ruth's courage, the daughter of a white British Cabinet minister, Sir Stafford Cripps, would make the same defiant decision. She married a Ghanaian Nkhose, Kwame Appiah. Their children - including a Stamford professor - flourish today, as your nephew flourished and did good. Be vigilant, in rejecting the cowardly lies of prejudice, and in excoriating its deniers. Only then will the cruelties of 'race' and 'religion' be torched. Brides will no longer be bullied. Grooms will all be kings.
There was another political angle: In the race for nuclear power and the atomic bomb, the UK was getting Uranium from South Africa, and South Africa threatened to withhold it for that reason. So, given that issue, that was why Churchill turned against it when he became prime minister (apparently he was supportive previously). However, Seretse was fortunately very cunning, renouncing the throne but instigating democracy, and then becoming president. It's a great shame he didn't live for that long afterwards though.
Thanks for sharing your story.
One among the honorable Leaders who inspires me most......I really like good leaders like Seretse he was the hero who fought against Racism... WE ARE ALL EQUAL REGARDLESS OF OUR COLOR AND REGION
Woke up at 5am, watched this randomly, idk why im depressed now, this shit was only like 40-50 years ago at most damn..
knowing that they both passed away and loved eachother :(
Hi dear
It was like the whole world was against him England and Africa love always wins
I watched, "A United Kingdom", the other day; brilliant film, recreates this story excellently! Great cast, very moving, real tear jerker, definitely worth a watch!
A fantastic politician with the support of the finest first lady in Botswana history, so very sad of his young death from pancreatic cancer.
The movie they created based on their lives is so good. That's what you call True Love 💕
Bless them! Love has no color, no boundaries....
awesome! I love it when people bravely do what they feel is right in the face of so much oppression
Remarkable story but never less beautiful thanks for sharing your story
It's ridiculous how recent all of this all is.
Amazing story
Beautiful story
when it comes to love we are equally human, no race, color, just love.
My heart felt sympathies for you and your family!!
Beautiful. What a lovely couple, thank goodness love endured.
Wow, what a beautiful story.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
A very brave woman, she followed her own way.
My Boyfriend and I are both mixed and a lot of the world is at this point. We are all children of God, no matter your skin color.
We're NOT all God's Children. There are scriptures in the Bible that supports that . KJV. I use to think the same hearing People say that all my life. Until I read in the Bible different. Also: My people parish for the lack of knowledge.
Love sees no color, gender, or social class. Love is love ❤️

Soretse and Ruth had true love! I saw the film about them. I think they were awesome people.
It’s a lovely story . I have watched the film . Going to watch it again.
