From The Mad Monarchist (18 March 2012)
He said...'It is with deep humility and profound sorrow, shared by the Royal Family, Nobles, Government, Church Leaders, and the people of Tonga, that I respectfully announce the most lamentable passing away of His Majesty King George Tupou V, which occurred in Hong Kong, at 3:00 PM on 18th March 2012, during his visit there.'
He added that His Royal Highness Crown Prince Tupouto'a Lavaka was at his bedside when the King passed away.
Today, let us join together in prayer for the Royal Family and the people of Tonga, as the Prime Minister concluded the sad announcement.
Further details and the arrangements for the State Funeral will be made known once available.
Long live His Majesty ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho, the new King of Tonga!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
