An Audience with Royalty | The Blue Continent

Camilla has a brush with Polynesian Royalty and etiquette, as she prepares for a meeting with Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal Salote Mafile'o Pilolevu of Tonga.

As a Tongan descent who lives in the states..... these videos are an absolute gem. I don't know much about the royal family. So videos like these help me learn about them. I want to share videos like this one with my children so they can learn about the royal family and be proud of their heritage. Great job!

The lady in the picture is not Queen Salote but her granddaughter Princess Siu’ilikutapu.

Lol I thought too😂

[@Incognacious]

This was filmed a long time ago when Princess Pilolevu was Princess Regent

The Protocol is very similar to my country, Myanmar, a country in the maindland South East Asia. We are not supposed to look at the faces of royals unless they tell so. We have to take off the shoes before going to their presence ( the Anglo-Myanmar war occurred partly coz the British Imperial diplomats refused to take off their shoes in front of our King ). Sit lower than the royals too or crawling before their presence ( for our culture)

This is a load of BS she’s foreign so the regent couldn’t care less if she wore a tupenu or not and she should just sit on the chair. Tongan protocol shouldn’t have to apply to her she’s here for work i say get on with it and have a good day.

What you just said was a load of BS

[@CJCappella]

When in Rome, do as the Romans. When in Tonga, do as the Tongans.

[@francesahchong8684]

Absolutely right!!

[@tettiiillchayz3502]

They’re in the presence of royalty. You tae

[@agorapanologia]

It's true she wouldn't be expected to, and the Princess wouldn't have been too upset if she sat on the chair to talk to her. But the fact that she did all those things anyway as a show of respect probably endeared her to the Princess quicker than being a stuck up tourist would have. It's good when others assimilate to our culture when in Tonga, and it should be encouraged as much as possible.
