For those unversed with the Māori queen, she was anointed as the new Māori Queen in September 2024, succeeding her father, King Tuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero VII.

What’s also pertinent to mention about the monarch is that she is the eighth of the Kiingitanga (Māori King Movement) and is also considered the second woman ever to hold this position.

Moreover, at just 27 years old at the time of her Coronation, she is the youngest Māori Queen to be anointed.
