Where the maori king and queen live?

The Māori King and Queen don't live in a traditional palace or residence like other monarchs. Instead, they reside in their respective marae (traditional meeting grounds) within their respective iwi (tribes):

* King Tuheitia Paki lives at Tūrangawaewae Marae in Ngaruawahia, Waikato. This marae is considered the spiritual heartland of the Māori King movement.

* Queen Te Atawhai lives at Māori King's House in Whatawhata, Waikato. This house is a significant landmark and a symbol of the Māori monarchy.

It's important to remember that the Māori King and Queen are not elected officials, but rather they are chosen by the Māori people according to their lineage and leadership qualities. Their role is primarily symbolic and spiritual, and their residence reflects the cultural and historical importance of their positions.
