The Australian media are referring to the new King as 'Taufa'ahau Tupou V', but this may be an assumption rather than fact.

Today on the Matangi Tonga web site there is a picture of the new king waiting for the body of his father and they call him George Tupou V.

Default Funeral
The new king has received condolences from the Japanese Imperial House and there is conjecture that a representative may attend the funeral... I doublt it would be the Emperor or Prince Akishino, but perhaps the Crown Prince. It will be interesting to see which foreign royalties turn out to honour the king. I hope his passing is officially recognised by other countries as would any other reign monarch of an independent country.

The country residence of the new King George Tupou V on the outskirts of Nuku'alofa, Tonga

I think this is more grand compare to the Royal Palace
