It depends on how you look at it New Zealand Is still a part of the Commonwealth, the queen is still their sovereign which means technically yes they are still under British rule in a way but the royal family does not have very much say over what happens in NZ the prime minister is really in control of all that!
New Zealand is NOT under British rule. It is an independent state. There are 16 countries in the world of which Queen Elizabeth is Head of State; New Zealand is one, the UK is another and there are 14 others.
New Zealand is located in the Pacific. The only British territory in the Pacific is Pitcairn Islands.

∙ 10y agoYes, New Zealand used to be a member of the British Empire. This name has been abandoned and the institution replaced by The Commonwealth.
There are 54 members of The Commonwealth, most with prior association with UK. Mozambique is the exception without such a history.
The aims of The Commonwealth include shared goals in democracy and national development.

New Zealand is not part of the British Empire, which no longer exists. Remaining British territories (and there is only one in the Pacific) are all very small.
New Zealand is one of 54 members of the Commonwealth of Nations. The UK is another.

∙ 10y agoNo, in 1893 America conspired with traitors within the Kingdom of Hawaii (mostly wealthy businessmen with ties to the U.S.) to overthrow the lawful goverment of Hawaii. They then set up a puppet government, the "Republic of Hawaii" controlled by the U.S.
After WW II, havin seen the horrible consequences of colonization in the Pacific and elsewhere, The peaceful nations of the world decided on a conscious agenda to ensure that all colonies gained Independence from colonial rule. The UN set up the Decolonization Committee, which was empowered to operate like a full Organ of the UN in this direction.
Under the UN charter, colonies were to be given a choice, in popular vote, if they wished to remain a colony or become a free state. To circumvent this rule, America flooded Hawaii with American troops and foreigners, then let them vote in a plebiscite in 1959.
Under the UN charter, the vote was unlawful, because it did not include an option of independence. It only allowed for a vote for or against US statehood. The Native Hawaiians were sufficiently dispossed by this point to be overwhelmed by the foreign vote in the illegal plebiscite. Hawaii became a US "state" in 1959.
So, in answer to your question, the British do not rule Hawaii. Hawaii remains an American colony.
