Marrying cousins is accepted among the nobility in Tonga

The heir to the throne of Tonga in the South Pacific has married his second cousin in the capital Nuku'alofa.

Crown Prince Tupouto'a Ulukalala and his bride, Sinaitakala Fakafanua, both in their 20s, waved to cheering crowds as they left church after the wedding.

Tongans are marking the event with traditional feasts and offerings of cooked pigs.

The marriage comes four months after the death of King George Tupou V in March.

Marriage between cousins is seen as a way of keeping the royal bloodline strong in Tonga.

"It's a new beginning for the royal household," the crown prince's uncle Lord Vaea told New Zealand TV.

"We are looking to preserve the constitutional monarchy," he added.

Have they never heard of inbreds?, just look at the Brit royal family.

They already look inbred

Those names make me giggle. They sound (in my head) so silly, add clucks of the tongue and pops with the cheek, that kind of silly.

That's why Diana Spencer couldn't be part of that family. She was too beautiful!

Very sad she died so young! I'm glad her boys look like her and seem to be doing as well as they can without her.
