Harry Reveals Winner In William Wrestling Bout

On the seventh day of his visit to New Zealand, Prince Harry has been showing his hosts his playful side.

The prince was on a visit to the Turn Your Life Around Development Trust in Auckland, a charity that aims to help young people improve their lives.

During the visit, he joined the students in playing pool and table football and answered questions from the young people about taking up challenges, making choices and facing the consequences.

The first question put to him was: "If you and your brother had a wrestling match, who would win?"

He laughingly replied: "Me, definitely."

Referring to the making choices, the prince asked: "Who here has made a bad choice? Did you fix it?

"You always need to fix it. It's how you fix it and how you recover from making bad choices that makes you as a person. You're all still so young though."

But it was during an art class session that the young people got to see Harry's lighter side.

He was having his palm painted to put as an imprint on a board of handprints when he suddenly turned around, caught sight of veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards and, with a smile, ran over to him and planted his palm on the photographer's bald head.

Mr Edwards took it in good part, looking a little taken aback before breaking into a smile and then seeming to blow a kiss at his photographer pals.

Harry, meanwhile, went back to get his hand repainted so his could add his print to the board.

Later, he went to the Auckland Spinal Rehabilitation Unit where he met All Black rugby stars Keven Mealamu and Jerome Kaino and was presented with an All Black shirt.

There he pulled a sad face and called Kaino "you poor baby" after spotting his strapped up finger.

Sky's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills said Prince Harry reaffirmed the importance of Britain's links with the country as his visited a school on the penultimate day of the tour.

"Pupils waited in the pouring rain as the prince arrived at the Southern Cross Campus. Despite being soaked they performed a Haka for him before he was whisked inside the dry school hall to watch dance performances by Samoan, Tongan, and Cook Island groups," she said.

"It was designed to showcase more of the different communities living in New Zealand, aswell as a reminder of the cultural diversity of the commonwealth."

Later, at an event for emergency services and disaster relief personnel, Prince Harry said: "My family has always enjoyed very strong links with New Zealand.

"These links are of course central to the constitution of this nation, but they go much deeper than that. They are built on a profound personal fondness for this captivating country and its charming, talented people."
