Prince Right Person to Open Supreme Court
Monarchy New Zealand (also known as the Monarchist League of New Zealand) welcomes the news that Prince William will be returning to New Zealand in January 2010.
Chairman Professor Noel Cox said “visits from members of our Royal family are always welcome, and to have the second in line to the New Zealand throne, is a great way to begin the new year.”
While here, Prince William
will be opening the new Supreme Court building in
Wellington. That a representative of New Zealand’s Royal
family presides over the opening is a powerful symbol of the
independence of the Courts. The Prince will represent all
New Zealanders on behalf of our Head of State, The
Queen.
Professor Cox noted, “Our Royal Family stands
above partisan politics and remains one of the great
constitutional strengths of New Zealand’s democracy. The
opening of the permanent new home for the highest appellate
court in the country is a great opportunity for the Prince
to contribute to our constitutional and legal
life.”
