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. This was a “symbol of remembrance for all New Zealanders who did not make the journey home after serving their country overseas.”

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.

It was the first image shared by the Duchess ever since she became a Royal. It was also the first image for her fans since she deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts in January.

She deleted her social media accounts after her engagement to Harry in December 2017. The Royal couple spent their day in Wellington attending a traditional Māori welcome ceremony.

During her heartfelt speech, she said that the country's women's suffrage movement had "paved the way" for women and minorities around the globe. New Zealand became the first country in the world to give women the right to vote in parliamentary elections in 1893.
