Members of the royal family will make their first pilgrimage to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in a quarter of a century, it has been confirmed.
New details of Prince Charles and Camilla's visit to New Zealand next month have been announced, with the couple set to arrive in Auckland on
November 17 before travelling to the Bay of Islands, Christchurch and Kaikōura over a week.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall would get to see the regeneration of Christchurch since the 2011 quake and the way the community had come together since the March 15 attacks.
"The effects on the community of the 2016 earthquake will also be seen first-hand at Kaikōura," Ardern said.
But while in Northland, the heir to the throne and his wife will visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.
