In a recent excerpt from her memoir, former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern reminisced about a memorable encounter with Queen Elizabeth II. The meeting took place during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London in April 2018, when Ardern was seven months pregnant.

Ardern described the moment as both surreal and heartwarming, highlighting the Queen's warm demeanor and sense of humor. The conversation touched on the challenges and joys of motherhood, with the Queen sharing her own experiences.
