Presumably just after he arrives back on Wakanda, T'Challa is greeted by his mother, Ramonda, who tells him, "My son, it is your time".

Kitted out in some sort of royal attire, Ramonda clearly takes her role in Wakanda seriously. We know that Man-Ape kidnaps her at some point in the film, though it remains to be seen if this is merely a small subplot or a huge catalyst for the rest of the action.

Either way, Bassett is a fantastic choice for a role like this, looking and acting the part as you'd both hope and expect.
