ʻEiki Fakaʻosifono proposed to Princess Latufuipeka Angelika Tuku’aho on January 2014.
Spokespersons at the Palace Office who did not want to be identified said the presentation was a “faitohi” or the practice of approaching the princess’ parents seeking her hand in marriage.
Lord Nuku, Faka’osifono’s father, told Kaniva News yesterday afternoon the presentation was a normal procedure for the nobility and their kāinga (relatives, families and residents of their estates) to visit and meet the king in the new year.
