ʻIlima Lei Fifita Tohi, also known since her marriage as "Ilimalei Kalaniuvalu, is claimed to be the illegitimate daughter of late King George Tupou V of Tonga.
Education
ʻIlima lived in Fasi mo e afi, attended Queen Salote College, and on 2 December 1997, married Tulutulumafua ʻi Olotele Kalaniuvalu, a police officer from Lapaha, with whom she had one daughter (Siboney Siofia "A Ha"atakalangi Lavenia Hemoata).
Career
As of 2007, ʻIlima is living in Niutōua and working in Nukuʻalofa at the Tongan ministry of training, employment, youth and sports. Additionally, in traditional Tongan culture, one may inherit land and status from one"s father, but one"s rank in society is determined solely by one"s mother. In a hypothetical situation in which a beggar marries a queen and has a son who chooses to follow in his father"s footsteps, Tongan culture dictates that the son would sit as a royal among the chiefs of the country.
In a hypothetical situation that is reversed, for example a prince marries a woman of no rank, the child would be like any other commoner of the country in the eyes of the country"s chiefs, even if he became, for example, a rich and influential businessman.
