On the 16th of October 2024, the Prince of Wales bestowed the title of Dame upon Jacinda Ardern in a ceremony at Windsor Castle.
The timing and nature of this recognition is something to be curious about, given Ardern’s outspoken support for New Zealand becoming a republic.
The Daily Telegraph rightly pointed out the tension between her public stance on removing the monarchy in New Zealand and her willingness to accept such an honour from its British counterpart.
But beyond the surface-level irony, what deeper implications could this have from a scriptural perspective? Does the Bible support such actions, or is there a larger issue at play here?
The Bible says,
Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD
In accepting this honour, one might question whether Jacinda Ardern’s actions reflect a commitment to true justice and righteousness, or simply a desire for personal recognition.
Damehood or hypocrisy?
Jacinda Ardern’s acceptance of a Damehood is nothing short of blatant hypocrisy. For someone who has consistently pushed for New Zealand to sever ties with the British monarchy, her eagerness to become a Dame Grand Commander of the New Zealand Order of Merit is puzzling.
The former New Zealand politician who served as the 40th prime minister clearly wants the monarchy out of her country, yet she didn’t hesitate to travel halfway across the globe to Windsor Castle to bask in the royal limelight.
The 44-year-old, known for her stringent climate change rhetoric and unwavering support for the mRNA vaccine, appears to be intent on impoverishing the population. Just a few years ago, she preached at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum that the post-COVID world must not return to ‘business-as-usual’ in order to curb emissions and fight global warming. Yet, in pursuit of personal accolades, she seems quite comfortable with a carbon-heavy journey to accept an honour from the very institution she wishes to distance her nation from.
The contradiction between her public stance and personal actions reeks of opportunism.
Mic 2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds.
Watch Stephen’s analysis here:
At the break of dawn
In 2021, Jacinda Ardern pushed through one of the world’s most extreme abortion laws—allowing abortion on demand, decriminalised right up until birth. Her stance was a blatant disregard for the sanctity of life, painting her leadership in a grim light.
But her extreme positions didn’t stop there. She has firmly embraced the ‘pro-homosexual’ agenda, appointing an openly gay deputy prime minister, Grant Robertson, and staunchly supporting the transgender movement.
Ardern even went so far as to defend New Zealand weightlifter Mr. Laurel Hubbard in 2021, brushing aside the concerns over men competing in women’s sports. So much for advocating for women’s rights—when biology, fairness, and safety are sacrificed on the altar of ‘inclusivity.’
In 2022, her iron grip on morality tightened further, as she cracked down on Christian prayer and ministry by banning so-called ‘conversion therapy.’ With sweeping legislation, she criminalised parents who dared to act in the best interests of their own children, refusing to allow them to undergo irreversible puberty-blocking treatments.
Under Ardern’s regime, parental rights were trampled, religious freedoms diminished, and moral decency cast aside—all in the name of progress.
Habakuk 1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgement doth never go forth…for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgement proceedeth.

Jacinda’s push for ‘carbon neutral’ by 2025
In 2020, Jacinda Ardern pushed through a vote to make New Zealand’s government ‘carbon neutral’ by 2025, an idealistic goal at best, but at what cost to the population? She talks of ‘life or death’ when it comes to climate change in New Zealand, yet refuses to address the very real issue of impoverishing the citizens to achieve these lofty aims. Jacinda’s climate rhetoric demands that ordinary people make sacrifices—travel less, heat their homes less—because, apparently, that’s what it takes to save the planet.
But, of course, those rules don’t apply to her. She pays lip service to the struggle of the average New Zealander, saying ‘Climate change is in our backyard’ and talking of her commitment to the Pacific region. Yet, the same woman who tells her people to reduce their carbon footprint racks up a £25,000 travel bill, jetting 2,800 miles from New Zealand to Nauru in the process.
The hypocrisy is glaring: the climate emergency is a crisis for the masses, but for Ardern, it’s business as usual.
The Bible,
Prov 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
‘Commitment to sustainable development and climate action’?
One might assume that someone like Jacinda Ardern—a God-hating tyrant, hypocrite, and political failure, would be the last person deserving of an honour, especially one bestowed by the future King of England. But that would be misunderstanding how the elite circles truly operate. The 44-year-old is not just any politician, she’s a graduate of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders program, a credential she shares with other notorious authoritarians like the Netherlands’ Mark Rutte and Canada’s Justin Trudeau.
It’s no surprise then that she would fit right into Prince William’s orbit. After all, it was at the World Economic Forum where he launched his ‘Earthshot Prize’ in 2019, yet another vanity project under the guise of ‘saving the planet’ and ‘fixing the climate.’ Of course, this mission was co-signed by Sir David Attenborough- a man who once said the creature he finds ‘most extraordinary’ is a nine-month-old human baby. But now he believes the planet can’t sustain many more. In 2013, Attenborough in an interview with the Radio Times said the ‘Earth is plagued’ with people and that more space was needed to grow food.
And now, Jacinda joins the elite ranks of this club. Despite resigning as Prime Minister of New Zealand in 2023, citing a lack of ‘gas in the tank,’ she was swiftly appointed to the prestigious role of trustee for the Earthshot Prize by Prince William himself. The explanation? Her supposed ‘commitment to sustainable development and climate action.’ Never mind the impact her policies had on the livelihoods of ordinary people during lock down and extreme climate measures. When the global elite gather, they do so to serve their interests, not the needs of the people. For them, the wicked deeds of their own go unnoticed. As the psalmist reminds us, the kings of the earth have no concern for righteousness.
Psalm 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psalm 76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes.
