Britain's Prince William met plenty of local folks on Day 2 of his three-day visit to New Zealand yesterday. He took part in a traditional Maori feast, visited a wildlife center and wilderness park, took a turn at the helm of a Team New America's Cup yacht, and visited the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. William is the elder son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and the late Princess Diana.
