New Zealand’s Maori King Tuheitia has died only days after celebrating 18 years of his rule. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Britain’s King Charles were among those who expressed sorrow.

    TIL the title “Maori king” is misleading. He was the king of certain Maori tribes, not the king of all Maori.

      So he’s “a Maori King” and it has been contracted in the title just like in “Florida man eats own face after setting crocodile on fire”.

      TIL the title of this article is similarly misleading. He didn’t spend 18 years on the crapper either.

      I understood it to mean he is a king that happened to be Māori
