The Prime Minister has spoken highly of New Zealand's new head of state.
King Charles The Third has now taken over Sovereignty, following the death of Queen Elizabeth The Second earlier today.
Her Majesty passed away aged 96 at Balmoral Castle, surrounded by family.
Jacinda Ardern told Heather du Plessis-Allan says like his mother, King Charles has a real affinity with New Zealand.
She says during the times she spoke with the Royals, it was during things like lockdown, during royal visits and in the aftermath of March 15.
Officials are looking at options for a moment of silence.
The Prime Minister says they want to ensure it's a time when people can pose and take part nationally - and details will likely be put out in the next 24 to 48 hours.
