DTNZ: Ardern to receive Damehood at Windsor Castle


Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is set to formally receive her damehood next week at a ceremony in Windsor Castle, London.

The honour, to be bestowed by Prince William, evidently recognises her “leadership” during critical moments such as the Christchurch attacks and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ardern was appointed a Dame Grand Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2023 King’s Birthday Honours, just months after her unexpected resignation from office.

The news has sparked a backlash on social media, with many criticising her record as prime minister.

Comments ranged from questioning her leadership to outright condemnation.

“How does the worst PM in NZ history get knighted? If running NZ into the ground earns you a title, what’s next!” read one post.

Another user remarked, “It’s disgraceful and makes a mockery of the award,” while others accused her of abandoning New Zealand, saying, “She is too busy to come back to NZ even for the ceremony. We were always only a stepping stone for her.”

The mass murder of 51 people is turned into propaganda making Jacinda the heroine of it all. It is nauseating.

Will a life peerage follow in due course? Baroness Ardern of Aotearoa ( a failed state).

Agree Mary. When will the world wake up?

I think Wills has a crush on her.
Whereas the rest of us would just like to see her crushed.... metaphorically speaking.

Wills thinks she's an awesome leader. Then again, what do you expect from someone who is the result of centuries of in-breeding and is the son of our current "climate change" King.
