During the 150th Anniversary of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Tonga on 4 November 2025,
I was deeply honoured and privileged to join Kioa, Longolongo ʻa e Folau, Kauʻatoa, Maʻu Kilikili, and other matāpule of His Majesty King Tupou VI in serving at the Royal Palace each morning from 5:00 a.m.

The week marked a beautiful renaissance of the age-old tradition of fakatakatōfā — the Royal Awakening.

Performing groups from across the Kingdom gathered to offer their gifts in music, performing beloved compositions of Her Late Majesty Queen Sālote Tupou III, along with the hauntingly graceful sounds of the traditional Tongan fangufangu (nose flute), gently awakening the Sovereign with the first light of dawn.
