Prince Taufa’ahau Manumataongo of Tonga
The tiny island nation of Tonga is the South Pacific’s last Polynesian kingdom, a constitutional monarchy currently ruled by King Tupou VI. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, little Prince Taufa’ahau Manumataongo is now 6 years old, and he’s second in line to the throne behind his father, Crown Prince Tupoutoʻa ʻUlukalala. The cutie is just like any kid – he was even spotted pretending to drive a tuk-tuk in Tonga’s capital of Nukuʻalofa. The country of Tonga was a protectorate of the United Kingdom up until 1970, so it still has close ties with Britain’s royal family. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a stop there on their royal tour in 2018.
Princess Amalia of Luxembourg
Luxembourg is a Grand Duchy, so the country doesn’t have a king but rather a Grand Duke, Henri. The royal family is rather large, with the Grand Duke’s five children and four grandchildren. Five-year-old Princess Amalia is the eldest grandchild and therefore the first of her generation in line to the throne, behind her uncle, Crown Prince Guillaume, who doesn’t have any children (yet), and her father, the Grand Duke’s second son. But the Crown Prince and his wife recently announced they’re expecting, so that future child will bump Amalia down the line of succession in just a few short months.
