Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Monday received one of New Zealand's top honours, recognising her efforts for leading the country through the COVID-19 crisis, the terror attacks on two Christchurch mosques and the White Island volcanic eruption.
Ardern was named "Dame Grand Companion," the second highest honour in New Zealand, on King Charles' birthday holiday celebrated by the country on June 5, and she made the coronation honours list for this year. The awardee is usually chosen in New Zealand by the prime minister and then approved by the British monarch, the head of state.
"Leading New Zealand's response to the 2019 terrorist attacks and to the COVID-19 pandemic represented periods of intense challenge for our 40th Prime Minister, during which time I saw firsthand that her commitment to New Zealand remained absolute," Hipkins said.

On Monday, Ardern was made a Dame Grand Companion, which is the second-highest honor in New Zealand. It means people will now call her Dame Jacinda. Ardern was just 37 when she became prime minister in 2017 and was seen as a global icon of the left. She shocked New Zealanders in January when said she was stepping down as leader because she no longer had “enough in the tank” to do it justice.
