King Charles III will connect with New Zealanders through concern for climate, says ex-NZ PM SangitaMyska | HelenClarkNZ
The former Prime Minister of New Zealand said that the advocacy for climate issues that King Charles expressed throughout his life brings him closer to New Zealanders.
While reflecting on the Queens' relationship with New Zealand and the Commonwealth, Ms Clark told Sangita that the affection New Zealanders felt for the late Queen would further encourage them to support the newly-appointed King. When asked what she expects will unfold between the new King and the Commonwealth, Ms Clark responded that King Charles is well known and well liked in New Zealand, and that the commonality between his and the public's interest in climate issues will make for a "popular visit".
She drew upon the Queen's first visit to the nation in 1953, when New Zealand was engulfed in tragedy after a lahar volcano erupted and threw an overnight train from Wellington to Auckland into water, killing 151 people.
