Ko te upoko o te kāwanatanga o Aotearoa ko Kuini Irihāpeti II. Heoi ka noho tonu te motuhaketanga o Aotearoa, i te mea kāore te Kuini o Ingarangi e taea te whakatū i tōna mana ki Aotearoa nei. I te mea ko ia te upoko ariki o te kāwanatanga o Aotearoa, whakaatuhia ai tana upoko ki runga i ngā kapa mō te 50 tau te roa. I whakaputaina te kapa o te kuini taiohi i tōna koroneihanatanga i te tau 1953 (kei runga taha mauī), ā, i whakaputaina te kapa 50 i te tau 2001 e whakaatu ana i tōna ruruhitanga (kei raro).
