I think it would be very touching and humbling. You wouldn't want to disappoint people. (Or it would turn you into a raging egomaniac.) ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472741030_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) Informative Caption was NOT helpful here, but I believe Harry is placing a fern on the Tomb of the Unknown Solider in Wellington. Ah, I remember the glories of New Zealand well, from Wills and Kate's trip last April. ([Relive it all here! ](https://www.gofugyourself.com/tag/royal-tour-australianew-zealand?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)Fondly I remember those nights I stayed up late waiting for photos to come in from across the world! I actually got a lot of work done on the book whilst on Wills&Kate Duty so, thanks guys, for helping us make that deadline. In fact, [the post wherein Kate wore her dress with the fern motif on it was the one where I accidentally fell asleep waiting for photos](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-kate-wills-and-georges-royal-tour-of-australia-and-new-zealand-day-four-04-2014/). I perversely very much enjoyed everything about that.) ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 1 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472738874_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) "I hope I wore the right blue suit. Maybe I should have worn the OTHER blue suit." ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 1 ![Prince-Harry-New-Zealand](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472738850_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) I am sure it did not escape Prince Ginger's notice that this particular traditional Maori greeting was from a totally gorgeous woman. ## Prince Harry Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 1 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472746762_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) I'm sure that's a huge relief. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 1 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472746794_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) YES. Bring a dog for him to meet. BRILLIANT. This girl's a smart cookie. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 1 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472747530_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) Day one of this trip and it already had everything: Boy Scouts! (Do you call them "Boy Scouts" in New Zealand?) Puppies! Amusing Signs! Blue Suits! Traditional Greetings from Hot People! ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 2 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472829204_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) I assume that is a traditional cape for visiting dignitaries and not just a new and exciting fashion choice on his part (although I support that, too). Regardless: Peach Blazer there in the middle, WE ARE ALL YOU. YOU ARE US. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 2 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472829166_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) This is an excellent Informative Caption: "Prince Harry is welcomed by a 100 year old Tuatara lizard called Henry after landing in Invercargill on his way to Stewart Island as part of his first visit to New Zealand." I love that he and this creature share a name. LET HIM KEEP IT, YOU GUYS. George would LOVE IT! Kate won't mind if Harry brings over a giant lizard on a leash for dinner every now and then, right? ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day Two ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472815114_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) "Hello. I'm just walking through beautiful, beautiful New Zealand looking thoughtful and handsome. LADIES OF THE WORLD PLEASE JOIN ME." ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day Two ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472824100_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) I feel like, Harry WOULD find two adorable children lurking near a bush and strike up a conversation with them. This is his area of strength. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 2 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472824110_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) And then they made him shuck oysters because obviously when Prince Harry is in town, definitely have him serve aphrodisiacs. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 3 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/472900990_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) Yeah, this seems about right. (I saw a photo on Twitter wherein Harry was helping these kids make the crowns in arts and crafts, which was excellent on several levels.) ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 4 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/473018264_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) "Hey, look, guys! It's Gran!" ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/473014694_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) I learned from the Kensington Palace Instagram that this is a bike you pedal for electricity, and [it's part of the Gap Filler project in Christchurch following their devastating earthquake](https://www.gapfiller.org.nz/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is a very interesting project. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 4 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/473014078_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) I'm sure these two have much to discuss. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 4 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/473015758_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) SOMEONE HAVE A BABY WITH THIS MAN. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 4 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/473038634.jpg) "Someone." ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand - Day 4 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/473038482.jpg) You guys, he's even passing out cupcakes. CUPCAKES. ## Prince Harry Visits New Zealand ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2015/05/473012470_Prince-Harry-New-Zealand.jpg) INDEED. [Royally Played: Prince Harry Visits New ZealandYou may have read or watched the interview that came out with Harry yesterday, wherein he notes that he wants to settle down and have babies (and have someone to go on these trips with) and I am sure I am not the first person who's had this reaction even in the last twenty minutes but: I VOLUNTEER. Although we haven't got any time to waste, and also he's going to have to be okay with my taking notes the whole time for future, theoretical books. Which I suspect I will have to write under a pseudonym to avoid Awkward Family Fights at Christmas. God. Even this fantasy is too complicated. Never mind. (OR AM I JUST TRYING TO THROW YOU OFF THE SCENT? Keep an eye out for Heather's new writing partner Jessamyn Flagon, making a mysterious appearance on the scene in late 2017, is what I am saying.) In other news, this entire tour is just him being charming with children and, like, cradling amphibians. It's really playing to his strengths. \[Photos: Getty\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2015/05/472739606_prince-harry-new-zealand.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-prince-harry-visits-new-zealand-05-2015/)
