I am delighted to announce that HM The King has accepted the Patronage of the New Zealand Society UK. HM The King has a long history with our society, visiting us several times, and with Aotearoa New Zealand in particular. We look forward welcoming HM The King to our events.

HM the King will follow in the footsteps of his late father HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who served as our patron for nearly 70 years.

Our Vice Patron remains HE The High Commissioner, the Hon Phil Goff.

This new patronage is a very special occasion for us, especially in the first anniversary year of Their Majesties’ coronation. We say kia ora and a warm haere mai to HM the King.

The Hon Clarence Tan President
