Jacinda Arden receives the title of a Dame by Prince William.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the 16th of October 2024, the Prince of Wales bestowed the title of Dame upon Jacinda Ardern in a ceremony at Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

The timing and nature of this recognition is something to be curious about, given Ardern\u2019s outspoken support for New Zealand becoming a republic.<\/p>\n

The Daily Telegraph<\/b><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

The Bible says,
\nPsalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Damehood or hypocrisy?<\/h2>\n

Jacinda Ardern\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The former New Zealand politician who served as the 40th prime minister clearly wants the monarchy out of her country, yet she didn\u2019t hesitate to travel halfway across the globe to Windsor Castle to bask in the royal limelight.<\/p>\n

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<\/b><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The contradiction between her public stance and personal actions reeks of opportunism.<\/p>\n
