Britain’s Prince Charles and his wife Camilla arrived in New Zealand yesterday for a weeklong trip, during which they plan to visit the city of Christchurch and the historic treaty grounds at Waitangi, where the nation’s founding document was signed.
It is the couple’s third joint visit to New Zealand and their first in four years.
Their plane landed in Auckland on Sunday afternoon. Their public duties were due to begin today when they planned to lay a wreath at the Mount Roskill War Memorial.
Among other engagements, the couple is due to meet with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern tomorrow, visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds on Wednesday, and on Friday visit Christchurch, where 51 Muslim worshippers were killed during a March massacre and rebuilding continues after a deadly 2011 earthquake.
