Tonga’s royals: Inside the Pacific’s last ruling monarchy | The Pacific

Tonga is the only country in the Pacific that still retains its monarchy. The royal family’s lineage stems from an ancient dynasty whose rule was absolute — and while that’s now changed, the monarchy still plays a central role in the civic and political life of Tonga. We take you inside the ruling dynasty of the Pacific’s last Kingdom.

‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Johnson Raela and Alice Lolohea.
