Prince Harry will visit one of New Zealand's most remote islands when he makes his first visit to the South Pacific nation next month. The British royal will stop off at a number of locations during his week-long stay – including Stewart Island, which has a population of just 378 people.  Prince Harry will arrive in Wellington on 9 May, and will also visit Auckland, Christchurch, Linton and Wanganui before jetting out on 16 May. It is his first official tour of New Zealand. "An interesting programme is being planned for Prince Harry to try and meet a wide range of New Zealanders in different communities," Prime Minister John Key said as he released further details ahead of the royal visit. "I am confident Prince Harry will have a fantastic time while he is here and I hope many New Zealanders enjoy the chance to see him," he added. Prince Harry is currently in Australia for a four week secondment with the Australian army, before he ends his ten-year military career for good in June.  Last week, he greeted hundreds of well-wishers in Canberra as he made an official appearance at the Australian War Memorial – his only public outing during his month Down Under. The Australian Defence Force – ADF – has said it aims to provide Harry with "an authentic military experience in the Australian army that builds on his previous experience with coalition forces and complements his work with wounded, injured and ill service personnel".  During his secondment, Harry will take part in a variety of activities and training exercises, including pack marches, bush patrols, flight simulation and first aid training. As he prepared to head Down Under, Harry – known as Captain Harry Wales in the army - said he was "tremendously looking forward" to his time in Australia. |

 Chelsy Davy is keeping us guessing about the status of her relationship with ex Prince Harry, one month after it was reported they were reconciling. The pair dated for six years from 2004 to 2010 and both had moved on to new relationships in recent years. But since they both found themselves single again, it was reported that they had reached out to one another. Davy wasn't divulging anything last night though as she enjoyed a girls night out in London.   Chelsy Davy leaving The Royal Academy on April 15, 2015 in London, England. The 29-year-old rocked a pair of black ripped jeans, a white shell top and blush pink waterfall blazer after a night at the Royal Academy. |

 Having showed off his wheelchair rugby skills during a match at the Invictus Games last year, it was only fitting that Prince Harry tried his hand at wheelchair Australian Rules Football while he's Down Under. After meeting with some wounded and injured army personnel, the Prince joined members of the Soldier Recovery Centre and the 1st Brigade for a round of the fast-paced game.  The 30-year-old is now halfway through his month-long attachment with the Australian Army. During the first two weeks of his time in the Antipodean country Captain Harry Wales, as he is known in the armed forces, has spent his time with the the North-West Mobile Force and the 1st Brigade.  Harry's programme has included time in an Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Tiger, which he undertook flight simulation training for before heading out with members of the 1st Aviation Regiment on a reconnaissance flight from Robertson Barracks, Darwin, Northern Territory.  The Queen's grandson, whose time in Australia means he will most likely miss the birth of William and Kate's second baby, has also been taking part in the day-to-day activities of soldiering, including physical training sessions and preparing for the field. He has been trained in bush survival, which has included lessons in sourcing food and water. The Prince then headed out on patrol and spent two nights camping out in the remote Kununurra region of Western Australia. |

 While it was previously thought that Prince Harry would miss the birth of Prince William and Princess Kate's second child, it now looks as if he will make it back to England in time for the royal birth. As previously reported, Harry, 30, who is currently stationed in Australia, will take a break from his military duties Down Under to attend commemorations for the Gallipoli Campaign in Turkey on Saturday. (He will be joined at the event by his father, Prince Charles.)  He will then quickly move on to the U.K. to attend a special event for the London Marathon on Sunday. "Prince Harry will briefly return to the U.K. this weekend […] to attend the London Marathon as Patron of the London Marathon Charitable Trust," Harry's office in Kensington Palace announced in a statement. "Harry will make the presentations to the winners of the elite men's and women's races and the IPC Athletics World Championships incorporating the wheelchair races," the statement continues. "His Royal Highness will also meet a selection of volunteers involved with the administration of the race and members of the St. John's Ambulance."  Both Saturday and Sunday are currently the odds-favorite dates for the arrival of the second royal baby. So, Harry may get the chance to meet his new niece or nephew before he heads back to Australia to complete his military duties. However, royal insiders have previously told PEOPLE that, if the royal baby arrives after this weekend, the prince won't be able to stay in England.  |

Prince Charles and Prince Harry joined world leaders in Turkey to mark the centenary of one of the First World War's bloodiest campaigns in Gallipoli. The Prince of Wales paid tribute to the "heroism" of the tens of thousands who lost their lives.  The Prince of Wales laid flowers on the graves of British and Irish soldiers who died 100 years ago storming the beaches at the start of the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign. He was joined by Prince Harry and the President of Ireland Michael Higgins at "V" Beach, close to the tip of the Turkish Peninsula, at a cemetery which is half the size of a football pitch but contains the bodies of almost 700 men.  In late evening spring sunshine, with birds tweeting and the smell of spring flowers in the air, the poignant visit came as the culmination of a day of remembrance.  The calm, low-key visit to V Beach where Royal Dublin and Royal Munster Fusiliers led the way, and who were so badly caught in enemy fire that the sea turned red, was a contrast to the pomp of the international service joined by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Prime Ministers of New Zealand and Australia.  Earlier, the princes met descendants of British and Irish Gallipoli veterans on board the Royal Navy's flagship HMS Bulwark, anchored in the middle of the Dardanelles straits which were the cause of the battle in 1915. |
