Adorable! New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern's Live Stream Interrupted By Her 3YO Daughter
Ardern's 3-year-old daughter was right next to her after having "escaped" her room. She was up past her bedtime while "mummy" was busy trying to discuss increased certainty for businesses under a new Covid-framework.
New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern had been in the news especially during the peak pandemic time for her excellent leadership during a world crisis. She has not only gotten New Zealand on the world radar but also has become one of the most loved political figures across the world.
The PM is now in the news for something that we can all relate to. Something people working from home know very well about. The embarrassment that comes with switching on the camera during a live meeting.
When Ardern was busy addressing the people about the country¡¯s Covid response through live stream from her home, the country¡¯s premiere was being persistently heckled by someone¡ª her three-year-old daughter, who had ¡°escaped¡± and was up past her bedtime.
The prime minister was conducting a live stream about shifting public health restrictions when she was interrupted by a faint voice of her daughter Meve. ¡°Mummy¡±, her daughter called out when the Prime Minister was addressing the people.

¡°You¡¯re meant to be in bed, darling,¡± the 41-year-old Kiwi leader responded. ¡°No,¡± Neve responded undeterred, launching what ended up being protracted, and for Ardern, fruitless, negotiations.
¡°It¡¯s bedtime, darling, pop back to bed. I'll come and see you in a second. I'll come and see you in a minute. Okay, sorry, everybody," Ardern says with a wry smile.
"Well, that was a bedtime fail, wasn't it? I thought here's a moment I'll do a Facebook Live, It will be nice and safe. Does anyone else have kids escape like three, four times after bedtime? Thankfully, my mum's here so she can help out."
"Okay, where were we?" Ardern tried to continue. The little voice returns: "What's taking so long?" "I'm sorry, darling, it is taking so long. Okay. I'm sorry, everyone. I'm going to just go and put Neve back to bed. Because this is well past her bedtime. Thanks for joining me."
People on the internet loved this relatable interaction of Jacinda and her daughter.
Wish she was our PM

While not as dramatic as the moment the children of Korea analyst Robert Kelly interrupted his 2017 BBC interview, it is not the first time Neve has stolen the limelight.
In 2018, Ardern became the second prime minister in the world -- after Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto -- to give birth while in office, later taking Neve onto the floor of the UN Assembly in New York.
