Coronation of His Majesty King Tupou VI of Tonga: 4 July 2015

Yes, delusional. Those are the type of comments that one answers with a sympathetic, indulgent smile and a pat on the hand.

I must say that this has not always been the attitude of the British people or the BRF to their peers....THEIR EQUALS...on the Continental and foreign thrones.

I don't think it says very flattering things about the Windsors at all.

Don't worry about it, it was very interesting, thank you. I have heard that in Uvea, Sigave and Alo, where the Kings are also elected from various royal families, that the wives of the Kings are called Queens.

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

For me it was very interesting that on the occasion of the coronation learned and Kingdoms which did know that they exist. It is gratifying to learn things about Kingdoms not so famous.

Most people don't even know the islands nor where they are at,let alone some being Kingdoms.Good to highlight their existence and RF's!

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.

Is there a new Throne Room in the extended palace or is it still the small room to the left as you enter the main door?

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.
