Prince William to Visit Wellington Children's Hospital

The Foundation is delighted to confirm that The Prime Minister has announced the visit of Prince William to Wellington Children's Hospital.

We have been working closely with the Visitors and Ceremonial Office at Government for the past two months and holding this secret has been a challenge!

During his first official visit representing the Queen, Prince William will take the time to visit with the children in Wellington Children's Hospital.

After arriving in Auckland on Sunday, 17 January, Prince William will visit Eden Park to see the redevelopment work and be briefed on plans for the Rugby World Cup.

He will also go sailing on the Waitemata Harbour on the America's Cup yacht NZL40 and enjoy a hangi at Government House.

Prince William will fly to Wellington on Monday, 18 January, where he will represent the Queen at the opening of the new Supreme Court building.

Other activities in Wellington include a wreath laying at the National War Memorial in Buckle St, a barbeque hosted by the Prime Minister at Premier House.

Members of the public will have a chance to see Prince William when he does a walkabout after the Supreme Court opening.

Prince William will leave for Australia on Tuesday, 19 January.
