Prince William to visit New Zealand to honour Christchurch attack victims

“The visit will be another sign that this nation will always stand with those affected by the terror attacks, and the people of Christchurch,” she said in a statement.

The royals have previously expressed their sympathies at the shooting attacks on two Christchurch mosques earlier this month by a self-avowed white supremacist.

Kensington Palace said the visit, which will take place in late April, came at Ardern’s request.
