The Queen has delighted fans with her latest appearance during a video call with the new Governor-General of New Zealand, Dame Cindy Kiro, who is due to be sworn in on Thursday. As a senior member of The Firm, the Queen remained committed to her royal duties throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and UK’s lockdown. The 95-year-old monarch mastered the use of video calls for royal engagements and has even reportedly enjoyed family calls over Zoom in recent months, including to celebrate her great-grandson Prince George’s birthday.
Now Her Majesty has shared a sweet clip of her recent video call with Dame Cindy and fans are in awe of how adorable she is. During the call, the Queen showed her sense of humour as they joked about their time difference and reflected on her years of service.
Opening the conversation, the Queen exclaimed, “Ah, there you are!” as Dame Cindy appeared on the screen and bowed to her.
“Good evening,” she went on, before Cindy answered, “Good morning here”, referencing the twelve hour time difference between the two countries. Her Majesty laughed good-humouredly and replied, “Oh of course it’s good morning to you, isn’t it!”
The pair went on to discuss Dame Cindy’s upcoming swearing in as Governor-General of New Zealand, with the Queen conversationally asking, “So you’re taking over quite soon aren’t you?”
Cindy affirmed that the swearing in is Thursday and told the Queen, “It will be a big day. Something you’ve gone through many times with many Governers-General.”
