Tongan Monarchy


BBC news announced this morning the king of Tonga Geroge Tupou V had died in HongKong.
Tonga is one of the Polynesian island that is located in the South Pacific. Tonga is the only island country in the pacific that still carries royal blood. In mid 20th century British took control over the island and later on King had gain the full power.  Until 2006, King had controlled everything. He was the prime mister, he ran to parliament and he was the ruler. When George Tupou V thrown to king he stepped out from the power.



Once I lived in Tonga. That's how I know all these things. I heard this information from my Tongan friend on facebook; this morning it was definite that he passed away.

  3. no he doesn't. He didn't even married. He argued with father why couldn't he be able to marry commoner. So his brother is going to be the next line of monarchy.
