Queen's advice to New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern on life as a leader and mother
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the Queen told her she had to "just get on with it" when asked for advice about being both a leader and a new mother.Speaking to the BBC, she also reiterated a belief that New Zealand would one day become a republic.Appearing on the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, she was shown footage of her first meeting with the Queen, which took place when she was pregnant.
Ms Ardern, who previously lived in London, said she hadn't been surprised "at all" by the size of the public's response to the Queen's death. She added that she had been surprised by the widespread discussion of the news that many world leaders will be bussed to the funeral instead of being allowed to take their own cars.
