PHOTO: NZ HERALDA queen, a former prime minister, two champion rugby players — and their former coach — are among those honoured for the King’s Birthday and coronation. Former prime minister Jacinda Ardern took the highest honour given to a New Zealander, being named a Dame Grand Companion. The Order of New Zealand is the country’s most prestigious honour and its membership is limited to 20 living people. The co-captains, as well as White Ferns cricket former skipper Amy Satterthwaite, became Members of the New Zealand Order of Merit. Oral pathology Emeritus Prof Alison Rich, also from Otago University, was named an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM).
