Prince William has landed in Wellington after a short delay due to fog at Wellington Airport this morning.
The prince's air force plane landed at about 9.40am, following fears that his flight would need to divert to the air force base at Ohakea, near Palmerston North.
Only one other flight had been able to land at the airport this morning, with others diverted to Palmerston North Airport.
His first engagement today was at the National War Memorial, where he was expected shortly for a wreath-laying.
Around 100 people were at the memorial to catch a glimpse of the prince.
He would later represent his grandmother, the Queen, at the opening of the new Supreme Court building, before visits to the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary and Kapiti Island, and a barbecue hosted by Prime Minister John Key at Premier House.
A group of about 30 Justice Department workers were outside the new courthouse this morning loudly protesting an ongoing wage dispute with the department.
The prince flew into Auckland at 11am yesterday and was greeted by Mr Key and his wife Bronagh and Governor-General Sir Anand Satyanand.
He visited Eden Park and was shown around the stadium by John Waller, chairman of the Eden Park Redevelopment Board, Mr Key and Auckland Mayor John Banks, who briefed him on plans for the Rugby World Cup and redevelopment of the park.
A number of All Blacks, including Richie McCaw, Ali Williams and Dan Carter, were also on hand.
Prince William later went sailing on Waitemata Harbour on the America's Cup yacht NZL40, and last night attended a hangi at Government House.
He will leave for Australia on Tuesday.
