ROYALTOUR
The future king, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, have arrived in New Zealand for their third official visit - the first in four years.
The royal couple's whirlwind tour will include visits to both the North and South Island before the prince is spirited away to Tuvalu andthe Solomon Islands on his way home.
The six-day jaunt of Aotearoa starts today in the City of Sails after the couple arrived at the RNZAF base in Whenuapai this afternoon.
Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy was among those who greeted the royal couple as they stepped onto New Zealand soil.
While in Auckland the pair will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at Mt Roskill War Memorial Park tomorrow morning before enjoying the central city's waterfront the following afternoon.
The couple will then visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds on Wednesday.
The visit comes after Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, made a four-day tour late last year.
During their stay the young couple were able to celebrate the 125th anniversary of women's suffrage in New Zealand with the Governor-General at Government House.
