Queen Elizabeth II death: 'No republic plan for New Zealand following her demise', says PM Ardern

India TV News  

Queen Elizabeth II death: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Monday said that the country is not planning on changing to the republic, following the death of British monarch Queen Elizabeth II. Her comments represent the first time she has spoken about the New Zealand republic debate since Elizabeth's death and reflect previous comments she has made on the issue. Ardern said she thought New Zealand would eventually become a republic, and it would probably happen within her lifetime, but that there were more pressing issues for her government to pursue. Many people in New Zealand have speculated in the past that the republic debate would gather momentum only after the death of Elizabeth, given how beloved she was by so many.
