ROYAL / NEW ZEALAND: Prince William tour: day two: opening of Supreme Court in Wellington

ROYAL / NEW ZEALAND: Prince William tour: day two: opening of Supreme Court in Wellington; John Key introducing Prince William SOT Prince William speech SOT - Chief Justice, Prime Minister, thank you both for your warm welcome. I have incredibly fond memories of my last visit to New Zealand, and I am so delighted to be back again.

I should like to say again how extraordinarily happy I am to be back in New Zealand. In 2005, I was here to follow the rugby – the All Blacks showing the British and Irish Lions how rugby is played here! But I also had the opportunity to explore this country, with its unrivalled beauty and dynamic people.

The overwhelming impression I have is of a nation that believes passionately in itself, in the value of democracy, in each other and other peoples, and in the rule of law. We know from our history of the courage and stoicism of New Zealanders – exemplified by the valour of such men as Charles Upham, whose double VC I had the privilege of seeing for myself in 2005, and whose exploits echo down the years in the recent courageous actions of Willy Apiata in Afghanistan. But this is also a young, entrepreneurial, forward-looking nation. After all, you've even managed to help catapult my family into the digital ether. The Queen started tweeting a few months ago, and now thanks to New Zealand I am being Bebo-d and Facebooked for the first time –...
