Prince Harry continued his royal visit to New Zealand today with a visit to Halfmoon Bay School, where he spent some quality time with the young students.
He sat in on a German class taught via Skype (which helps the school link up with other remotely located schools around the country), answered questions from the kids and was treated to a musical performance from the excited students as well!

He also took part in a few crown-making lessons during his tour of the school, helping one adorable youngster get the fit of his crown just right (as seen in the photo below). With the recent birth of his niece Princess Charlotte, however, Prince Harry will have to wait a little longer before he’s wearing a crown of his own!

It’s been a whirlwind three days for the Prince ever since he touched down in New Zealand on Saturday. His first day involved receiving the traditional Maori welcome at Government House, before visiting the National War Memorial and then watching the Hurricanes win against the Sharks at Wellington’s Westpac Stadium.
On Sunday, Prince Harry travelled to Invercargill and then on to Stewart Island, where he shucked a few Bluff oysters and toured Ulva Island, a pest-free bird sanctuary. Last night, he even took part in the Stewart Island Pub Quiz – where his team came second!
With trips to Christchurch, Whanganui and Auckland coming up there’ll be plenty of chances for Kiwis to see Prince Harry in the flesh!
