Prime Minister Jim Bolger, Queen Elizabeth II, the Māori Queen Dame Te Atairangikaahu and Minister in Charge of Treaty Negotiations Doug Graham were photographed together when Queen Elizabeth signed into law the Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act in 1995 Photo:

Former Prime Minister Jim Bolger met the Queen on several occasion both as a minister in Robert Muldoon's government and later as Prime Minister.

Despite being a committed republican Bolger is on record saying  the Queen had done a remarkable job in her role as monarch and head of the Commonwealth.
