House Of Tupou
This is a list of monarchs of Tonga since 1875, after the constitutional role of the monarch was put forth. Tonga is the only sovereign kingdom in Oceania that is not a Commonwealth realm. The first monarch was George Tupou I.
In July 2008, three days before his coronation, King George Tupou V announced that he would relinquish most of his power and be guided by his Prime Minister's recommendations on most matters.

Famous quotes containing the words house of and/or house:
“The welcome house of him my dearest guest.
Where ever, ever stay, and go not thence,
Till natures sad decree shall call thee hence;
Flesh of thy flesh, bone of thy bone,
I here, thou there, yet both but one.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
“to become a pimp
Or deal in fake jewelry or ruin a fine tenor voice
For effects that bring down the house could happen to all
But the best and the worst of us . . .”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
