    The Queen appoints Dame Cindy Kiro as New Zealand's 22nd Governor-General

    Appointment comes after Dame Patsy Reddy's tenure as Governor-General ended

    Typically, during an investiture ceremony, a person who has been awarded an honour receives their award in person from The Queen, or a Member of the Royal Family.

    The investee visits a Royal residence, usually Buckingham Palace, with members of their family, to receive their insignia.

    In the 30-second clip, the Queen says “Oh there you are” as Kiro appears on screen, followed by “good evening.”

    Kiro responds “good morning” and the Queen replies: “Oh, of course, it’s good morning to you isn’t it” and the pair then discuss Kiro’s swearing-in ceremony.

    As Governor-General, Kiro will act as The Queen’s representative in New Zealand and among ceremonial duties is responsible for signing off legislation passed by Parliament, appointing governments after elections, and giving a new government's “Speech from the Throne” at the opening of Parliament.
    Dame Patsy Reddy did a good job as GG so hopefully Dame Cindy Kiro will follow in her footsteps.

    As with the Australian and Canadian Governor-Generals, the term length is at Her Majesty's Pleasure although usually lasts about 5 years.

    This will be the Queen's 15th appointment of a New Zealand GG since her reign began in 1952.

    Thoughts?
