At Wellington airport, Prince Harry and his pregnant wife, Meghan, were welcomed by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

From the airport, the royal couple traveled to Government House where they received a traditional welcome.

At one point, the royals performed a "hongi" with indigenous Maori elders, in which they pressed noses together to share a breath.

They were also greeted with a haka performed by members of the New Zealand Defense Force, and a 21-gun salute.

The couple is scheduled to spend four days in New Zealand, and will hold talks with Ardern, go for a trail walk in a national park, meet young people training to be part of the film industry, and visit a hatchery for the national bird, the kiwi.
