Hare Pomare

[1][2] His wife, Hariata Pomare, was a Ngāpuhi woman from Te Ahuahu, near Ōhaeawai, who was the daughter of Pikimana Tutapuiti.

[2] Hare and Hariata Pomare were members of a party of Māori people who travelled to England in 1863 in a tour organised by William Jenkins, a Wesleyan lay preacher.

The Māori members continued to argue with Jenkins in England over his management of the tour and he eventually abandoned them.

They were presented to the Prince and Princess of Wales and met Queen Victoria in July 1863 at a reception at Osborne House, on the Isle of Wight.

[2] On 4 December 1863, Elizabeth accompanied Hariata and Hare as interpreter on a visit to Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle to present Albert Victor.
