It was originally known as "Monarchy New Zealand" but the name was changed in 2010.[5]

History

The organisation was formed as the The Monarchist League of New Zealand in 1995 and incorporated in April 1996.[6]

In 2002, the Monarchist League campaigned against the abolition of appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and the creation of the Supreme Court of New Zealand.[7] The group held a dinner to mark the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II on 9 June of that year.[8]

It was rebranded Monarchy New Zealand in 2010.[9]
