Kīngi Tuheitia's youngest child has ascended the throne to become the new Māori Queen.

27-year-old Ngā Wai hono i te pō has been anointed, and her father laid to rest alongside his ancestors on Maungataupiri.

Broadcaster Stacey Morrison says the young Queen is well-known.

She says she stands out when she performs kapa haka.

"That's when she is really firing and you go - wow, this is someone who has very strong will and character. I see in her a quiet and humble strength."

Tamaki Makaurau's Sky Tower is turning off all except aircraft warning lights tonight, to mark Tuheitia's burial.
