Tupou VI
Tupou VI (full name: ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho Tupou; born 12 July 1959) is the King of Tonga. He is the younger brother and successor of the late King George Tupou V. He was officially confirmed by his brother on 27 September 2006 as the heir presumptive to the Tongan throne, as his brother (a bachelor) had no legitimate children.〔(Tupouto'a Lavaka, Tonga's new Crown Prince ) Matangi Tonga, 27 September 2006〕 He served as Tonga's High Commissioner to Australia, and resided in Canberra〔("Crown Prince Tonga's first High Commissioner to Australia" ), Matangi Tonga, 15 August 2008〕〔(read&id=41482 "Tonga’s Crown Prince made High Commissioner in Canberra" ), Radio New Zealand International, 15 August 2008〕 until the death of King George Tupou V on 18 March 2012, when Ahoeitu Unuakiotonga Tukuaho became King of Tonga, with the regnal name Tupou VI.
==Life==
He was born in Nukuʻalofa, Tonga, the third son and youngest child of King Tāufaāhau Tupou IV. He was educated at The Leys School, Cambridge, from 1973–77. He then attended the University of East Anglia, where he studied Development Studies, from 1977 to 1980.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-29361704 )〕 He started his career in the military, joining the naval arm of the Tonga Defence Services in 1982 and becoming a Lieutenant-Commander in 1987. He graduated from the US Naval War College as part of Class 33 in 1988. From 1990 to 1995 he commanded the Pacific-class patrol boat VOEA ''Pangai'' and his time in charge included peacekeeping operations in Bougainville. He graduated with a masters in Defence Studies from the University of New South Wales in 1997 and with a MA in International Relations from Bond University in 1999.
In 1998 he ended his military career to become part of the government, first as the defence minister and the foreign minister at the same time, from October 1998 until August 2004. He took over these posts from his elder brother Tupoutoa, at that time still the crown prince, later to become King Siaosi Tupou V (see below). Soon he was appointed as Prime Minister on 3 January 2000, a function he kept until his sudden resignation on 11 February 2006, for which the reason has never become clear, but was probably due to the unrest in the country since mid-2005, a series of pro-democracy protests calling for a lesser role for the royal family in government. His appointed successor, Feleti Sevele, was Tonga's first prime minister who was not a hereditary estate holder or a member of the aristocracy made up of 33 noble families. In 2008 Ahoeitu was appointed Tonga's first High Commissioner to Australia, a post he held until his succession to the Tongan throne in 2012. In 2013 he was appointed as Chancellor of the University of the South Pacific.〔(Mic )〕
