Edmundo Ros — Queen of Tonga
It’s just a pleasant song. Bonus it is true and historical.
“Queen Sālote Tupou III was the Queen of Tonga. She was born in 1900 and reigned from 1918 to 1965.
She was tall woman, over 6 feet,
Queen Sālote attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952 https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19521120.2.5?end_date=31-12-1952&items_per_page=10&query=queen+salote+at+coronation+of+queen+elizabeth&snippet=true&start_date=01-01-1952 . She apparently made a great impression and stole the show https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-65403433 .
"She was very tall and regal. Even in the heavy rain she travelled in an open carriage with only a colourful parasol for shelter."
Queen Sālote later hosted Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh during a 1953 Commonwealth Royal Tour that included a visit to the Kingdom of Tonga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZaBwmf0_B8 as seen in this YouTube video. During this tour, the British Royal couple also visited Tainui at Tūrangawaewae marae in New Zealand for the first time.
