The couple were then taken to Government House, the official residence of the governor general, where they received a traditional Maori welcome.

They were greeted with a nose-press, called a hongi, and met Maori warriors.

A minor controversy marked the start of the trip - which ends in Canberra on 25 April.

Plunket, New Zealand's national childcare agency, published photos of a baby seat facing forwards in the royal car, with critics claiming this contradicted Plunket's advice that children of the prince's age should face the rear window.
