Amazing find. Sorry for my absence, my new job has been insanely time consuming. I find that their doesn't seem to be a consistent maintenance schedule or budget. An old photo of the Royal Palace and surrounding lands in the 1870's allegedly...

I struck gold and found a photo I haven't seen before. This is after the coronation of HM Tupou V. https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e35/c104.0.871.871/13714246_290681347975290_975492452_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTMxMzE1NzcxOTIzMzkyNzgxNw%3D%3D.2.c This is an unusual photo of...

Heritage et AL: Tongan Language Week You can see a photo on here listed as the Tongan Throne Room, however it looks more like the Parliament building. http://looppacificassets.s3.amazonaws.com/styles/no_watermark/s3/thumbnails/image/tongan_parliament_resumes_february_1.jpg?itok=A3X7ikUb A...

I am not sure what room this is showing. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/06/41/57/064157988dc6f1e28eb34ddb314b299b.jpg A small view of the former Privy Council Room I believe. https://i2.wp.com/www.thewhatitdo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/coverimagefreddie5.jpg?w=598...

I think the panelling in the throne room is original, it was there at the time of Queen Salote, perhaps she had it altered, details like this is difficult to come by. Yes, I think there are a few ancillary rooms in the palace that can be used for dining purposes for smaller groups. The larger...

The Palace renovations and extensions were completed under his reign and completed in late 2011 not long before his passing. The design and finish was under his guidance. The budget was only $5,000,000 and had to include a very large new fence surrounding the entire Royal Palace Grounds. I...

A beautiful tribute to Her Late Majesty from her grandchild, the Hon. Frederica Filipe, 3rd eldest daughter of the Princess Royal. Hon. Frederica Filipe: Our Beloved Queen Mother Halaevalu Mata’aho » The What It Do » Urban Island Review

What I love about that video is when Her Late Majesty is blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, it is being held by a well known LGBTQI advocate and transgender identity Joleen Mataele, who is a close family friend to HRH Princess Salote Mafileʻo Pilolevu Tuita, the Princess Royal.

Apologies for the long delay. It is still the same throne room with HM Tupou VI and HM Queen Nanasipauʻu Tukuʻaho making adjustments to the style of His Late Majesty Tupou V who himself had made significant changes to that of His Late Majesty Tupou IV...

I love this picture of Te Arikinui Kiingi Tuheitia (Maori King) and King Tupou VI in the Throne Room of the Royal Palace in Nuku'alofa Tonga. http://fijisun.com.fj/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Kings-Maori-Tonga1-680x365.gif

First Reigning Monarch decorated with new Kiingitanga honour I was trawling through photos recently to see if I can see a high resolution photo of the Kiingitang Honours worn at the 2015 Coronation of King Tupou VI and Queen Queen Nanasipau'u and discovered that the King had worn the Star of...

That is interesting as well, people forget about other Royal Families when referring to the Pacific.

No. Interestingly, being consort to the monarch doesn't automatically grant you a title either. Makau Ariki in essence means, wife to the Paramount Leader. The reason being is that the position is voted in by the heads of leading families of leading tribes who debate in secret the candidates and...

The Maori King was wearing insignia from his newly minted honours system that he introduced last year at his annual coronation commemoration ceremonies. I can't be sure which one he is wearing, but as it contains his coat of arms in the design (Te Paki o Matariki) I can only assume this is the...

A beautiful first hand account. A Princess Diary Part II | The What It Do » Urban Island Review That is a heart breaking account of when HM Queen Halaevalu Mata’aho saw her son, His late Majesty King Tupou V in the Throne Room of the Royal Palace.

So far there have been no news yet on his western more public coronation. I dare say he will want one as it will give him an opportunity to host foreign dignitaries and guests personally to develop personal relationships of his own. My guess is if there is to be one it will be next year. The...

The Tongan Government portal contains great photo albums of public events including the funeral and the surrounding events. Gallery - Category: STATE FUNERAL: King George Tupou V For the Taumafa Kava refer to the album titled The Pongipongitapu.
