(WELLINGTON) – Prince Harry and his wife Meghan spoke to people working in the field of mental health and met a native bird unable to fly while they were continuing their tour in New Zealand on Monday.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in the final stage of a 16-day tour of the South Pacific. They started their second day in New Zealand by visiting the Maranui Café on the Wellington Coast, where they spoke to people offering mental health support through phone lines, media social and other programs.
Last year, Prince Harry spoke of his own mental health problems, telling the Daily Telegraph newspaper that he had sought advice after many years of repression after the death of his mother, Diana, the princess Wales, in a car accident when Harry was 12.
At the café, Harry talked about the need to eliminate the stigma of mental health and encourage people to talk about their feelings.
"Everyone needs someone to turn to, right?" He said.
The couple then took a helicopter to get to Abel Tasman National Park, on the South Island, where it was raining, hosted by a Maori indigenous tribe. Harry told them that the weather forecast was even worse.
"From my wife, me and our little bump, it's a blessing to be here," Harry said, referring to four-month pregnant Meghan.
The couple wandered on a sandy beach and met a weka bird. A ranger said it was the New Zealand version of the monkey because they are very brazen.
New Zealand is home to a number of birds unable to fly, the most famous being the kiwi. The couple must go to a kiwifruit hatchery later in their trip.
The couple also plans to meet young people in training to join the film industry and participate in public tours in Auckland and Rotorua before leaving Wednesday.
The couple had traveled to Australia, Fiji and Tonga during their tour.
