Royal and Vice-Regal Patronage
The Governor-General is the Patron of many different charitable, cultural,
sporting and social organisations. This follows the tradition of royal
patronage established in the United Kingdom, although the practices of
granting Royal Warrants and Royal Charters have not been continued here.
In New Zealand there are three forms of royal recognition: by the granting
of the use of the title “Royal”; by a member of the royal
family acting as patron or president; and by members of the royal family
holding honorary military appointments in the New Zealand Defence Force.
