Criticism of the monarch is held to be antithetical to Tongan culture and etiquette.
A direct descendant of the first monarch, King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, his family, some powerful nobles and a growing non-royal caste of elites live in much wealth, with the rest of the country living in relative poverty.
Following the precedents of Queen Salote, and with numerous international advisors, the government of Tonga under King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV has monetized the economy, internationalized the medical and education system, and enabled access by commoners to increasing forms of material wealth (houses, cars, and other commodoties), education, and overseas travel.

Tupou II’s reign was, unfortunately beset with a multiplicity of problems causing serious internal dissension particularly during the first decade and a half of his twenty-five year rule from 1893 to 1918.
Although the Constitution was somehow overshadowed by the 1900 Treaty and its 1905 Supplement during Tupou II’s reign, it remained a significant guide to both sides especially in the administration of the internal affairs of the Kingdom, and British officials still appealed to it whenever it suited them.
Queen Salote died on 16 December 1965, and was succeded by the Crown Prince, Tungi, who was crowned King Taufa’ahau Tupou IV on 4 July 1967.

Established through the conciliatory of Queen Salote Tupou III to bring together two branches of the early Methodist Movement (the Free Church of Tonga and the Wesleyans (Siasi Fakaongoongo)) the Free Wesleyan Church adherents predominate much of Tongan society.
