this unexpected spade from the Prime Minister of New Zealand

Unexpected reaction this Tuesday, December 20, from Jacinda Ardern. Indeed, the Prime Minister of New Zealand released a statement regarding her appearance in a new Netflix documentary presented by Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry, Live To Lead. But on discovering the involvement of the Sussex couple in this docuseries, Jacinda Ardern insisted on making it known that she was not aware of the involvement of the Duke and Duchesswhen she agreed to participate. Live To Leadwhich will be available on the famous American streaming platform on December 31, will honor the “inspiring leaders“throughout history. And among them is the Prime Minister of New Zealand, who appeared in the trailer released this Monday, December 19. The involvement of Meghan and Harry is a certain embarrassment for Jacinda Ardern, since she rules New Zealand, a member country of the Commonwealth, where Charles III is therefore the monarch and head of state. In order not to offend the king, Jacinda Ardern obviously did not hesitate to sting Meghan Markle and Prince Harry by posting her clear position using a press release, distancing himself from them officially.

A clear statement from Jacinda Ardern

The Sussexes being listed as executive producers of Live to LeadJacinda Ardern’s office released a statement in response to questions from reporters, indicating that his participation had nothing to do with the Duke and Duchess. “In early March 2019, the Prime Minister was approached by the Mandela Foundation to participate in a project to develop accessible resources on key leadership attributes for aspiring young leaders around the world, based on an interview with one hour” can we read in the press release. It is also specified: “The interview was conducted on November 8, 2019. In March 2020, a small book titled Jacinda Ardern (I Know This to be True) was released based on the interview. Other participants whose contributions have also been published based on their interviews include the late United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, feminist activist Gloria Steinem, climate activist Greta Thunberg and basketball player American Stephen Curry“. While Jacinda Arder’s office also claims that it was not until March 2021 that she was informed of the Netflix agreement, it was not until May 2022 that she learned that “the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would present the docuseries“… Two and a half years after the recording of his interview. And to insist by declaring: “All communications have been with the Mandela Foundation (there was no communication with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex about the project)“. A clear and clean way to restore your imageif it had been tarnished, with the British monarchy.
