On Wednesday he will visit the Linton Military Camp, where he will participate in a number of activities with the Army, including learning the Army’s own Haka.
The Prince will be in Whanganui on Thursday where he will visit Putiki Marae, join the crew of the Marae’s waka for a trip on the river, and visit the War Memorial Centre.
