Harry dons traditional cloak and adopts nose-to-nose greetings in recognition of Maori culture... but stops short of a face tattoo

Prince Harry dons traditional cloak in New Zealand in recognition of Maori culture
The feel-good factor continued for Prince Harry on the sixth day of his visit to New Zealand as he met local dignitaries in the river city of Whanganui on Thursday. Wearing the korowai, or cloak (top right), that Ngai Tahu - the principal tribe of the southern region of the country - had given him in Invercargill earlier this week, he made a big impression. Afterwards he happily greeted local people in the traditional New Zealand way (left), before saying it was 'an extraordinary privilege' to be asked and given the chance to travel on a waka, or Maori canoe, on the Whanganui River (bottom right).
