For the last leg of their 16-day tour in New Zealand, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan attended a wreath-laying ceremony to pay their respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior.

While at the event, Harry was presented with the “Badge in Gold.” This is a medal considered to be New Zealand’s highest military honor.
