Honouring HM Queen Sālote Tupou III of Tonga

[@vichands3743]

I am Samoan but I have always admired and love the beloved Queen Salote. God Rest Her Soul in Peace

[@johmwick6713]

That's because she is part Samoan. Her family tree starts from a Tongan King named Moungatonga & Samoan daughter of Samoan chief Malietoa which started the Samoan Clan Sisi Uli. Empire called Ha'a Tu'i Kanokupolu

[@takinimo7933]

No she isn’t lmao she’s full Tongan. You’re talking about the Samoan chief’ daughters that we’re gifted as inasi (yearly tribute/offering service) to the tui Tonga’s when Samoa was under Tongan rule 🤗

What a noble woman! A Queen by definition - always smiling and inspiring the people, although in private life she had the pain of many losses...

[@sii9423]

Wow, what a woman. In that era being a princess on an island. Talking like you would've never known that was her voice. That's what you call finesse.

[@takinimo7933]

It’s crazy to imagine that she was 6 ft 4!! A small glimpse into how her and her gigantic ancestors were like!

Thank you very much Tangata Pasifika. This video is very touching. Her Late Majesty Queen Salote III has inspired me with her art of poetry. Her vocabulary and Metaphors, symbolic in society, inspires me to compose poetry. The photographs and montages of Her Late Majesty clearly appeals to us what type of person she was and her nature. We appreciate it! And by any chance where would I be able to purchase the three books of hers?

[@atulasitani7246]

Rest in Peace Queen Salote the 3rd of Tonga 😇🙏💖

[@atulasitani7246]

Thank you Tangata Pasifiki God bless you always 😇🙏♥️

QUEEN SALOTE TUPOU III WAS NOT THE ONLY CHILD OF KING TUPOU II OF TONGA, GET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

[@bensonvincent1485]

Listen, " She was the only daughter of King Taufa'ahau the 2nd.. AND QUEEN LAVINIA".. Get your listening skills straight 🤦‍♂️
