New Zealand's Māori Queen meets with King Charles at Buckingham Palace
The meeting marked her first audience with the monarch since becoming Māori Queen and covered environmental leadership and Indigenous knowledge.
- On Thursday, 29-year-old Māori Queen Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po held her first audience with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, with their discussion described as 'heartfelt' and covering her late father and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
- Te Arikinui became Māori Queen in 2024 following her father's death, becoming only the second queen in the monarchy's history after her grandmother Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, and is visiting London this week for The King's Trust 50th anniversary celebrations.
- The leaders discussed commemorating Te Tiriti o Waitangi's bicentenary in 2040, a treaty signed by over 500 Māori chiefs and the British Crown in 1840, while Te Arikinui affirmed her belief in 'the power of Indigenous knowledge and intergenerational stewardship to help solve the world's environmental and social challenges.'
- Earlier in the week, Prince William received Te Arikinui at Windsor Castle for discussions on environmental leadership and Indigenous perspectives, acknowledging the visit as 'a pleasure to meet with the Queen' on Instagram.
- The Kiingitanga and British Crown have maintained diplomatic ties across eight royal reigns, including a historic 1914 meeting between King Te Rata and King George V, with King Charles and Queen Camilla having visited Tkrangawaewae Marae during their 2015 New Zealand tour.
