Maoateuamava XVIII (born Seiteia Seianavio; 10 February 1968) is the 18th Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio, the traditional Queen of Freice, now a Country within the Federation of Riamo.

Maoateuamava is the eldest daughter of Tiranaoma Nioamainaio, who reigned as Maoateuamava XVII. She was the first member of the Maoateuamava Dynasty to attend public school and also the first to attend university, studying geography at the Polytechnic School of Sefa.[1] She became her on her mother's accession in 1971, and succeeded her as Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio on her death April 1986. She married lawyer Suiasu Tarisoiu in 1990, who became the first commoner to marry into the royal family.[2]

Birth and early life

Born Seiteia Seianavio on 10 February 1968, her given name is a traditional name which means servant of God. She was born in Freice City, now Sekapa, the capital of the then Colony of Freice. Her mother, Maoateuamava XVII, was the 17th Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio (born Seianavio), and her father, Kailita Liseaua, who took the name Paiwaia (derived from the phrase Faithful Prince).[1]

On her mother's death, she succeeded her as the 18th Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio, taking the regnal name Maoateuamava XVIII as is traditional.

The two began a relationship after the dispute was settled in December of that year, creating significant controversy in May 1988 when the two began living together out of wedlock.[2] In February 1988, the couple announced their engagement; although he was not the first commoner to have a relationship with an Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio, it was the first time that a commoner had married the monarch. Initial plans for the marriage to be held in June of 1989 were pushed back following Rao Paiwaia's public condemnation of the marriage.[3]

By January 1990, the internal family dispute over the marriage had been settled. In June 1990, Maoateuamava married Suiasu in a Christian ceremony, followed by a traditional Freician marriage ceremony. In accordance with tradition, Suiasu took a royal name, selecting Aoialaneia (Loyal Husband), and was granted the style of Highness and the title Rao by his wife.[4]

The couple have two children. Maoateuamava gave birth to a daughter, Rao Nimaoine Seiteia, in August 1991, and a son, Rao Haoiaka Suiasu, in April 1993. Rao Nimaoine will be the first female Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio to succeed a woman who herself succeeded a woman. Rao Nimaoine began studying medicine at the University School of Medicine, Freice, graduating with a Bachelor of Midwifery in 2014.[5] Rao Haoiaka is a charity executive and head of the Methodist Church's education outreach program.[6]
