Researching local history in school kits for Min of Ed.
Came across this item of interest.
Queen Victoria in 1863 a widow, was introduced to 14 Maori warriors and partners by Rev Wm Jenkins who appears to have taken the New Zealanders to encourage people to come to our country. The Queen realized one lady was pregnant and took her under her wing. The baby was born Albert Victor Pomare 1863, and the Queen gave him a christening gown and set.
She paid for his education.
