1983: The last great royal tour

Good morning neighbours, an old gem for you...

Around 20,000 people came out to watch the Prince and Princess of Wales do a walkabout in Cathedral Square on April 28, 1983, despite “chilly, intermittent and penetrating rain”, but The Press also wondered if royal tours were approaching their use-by date.

The tone of the paper’s editorial was very different from that struck 30 years earlier, when the Queen toured.

“Rapid communications and travel have removed much of the novelty from Royal appearances in New Zealand,” The Press said. “The charm and interest remain enhanced this time by the presence of the future Queen, Princess Diana, and the baby who could some day be King William V.”

The Press looked into the future: “Before the end of the century Prince Charles can probably expect to be King Charles III. His son, at present in Auckland, may well still be on the throne in the unimaginable world of the year 2050.

“Although New Zealand has not the vigorous republican movement evident in Australia, the question is reasonably asked here whether an​ hereditary monarch, living 12,000 miles away, will continue to be the most appropriate head of State for New Zealand.”

Despite this, every move was still recorded and star power was very evident, as The Press reported.

“A faint touch of blue shone through the clouds about 10 minutes before the end of the walkabout. It highlighted the Princess’ hair and brought favourable comments from a cluster of young girls.

“Many people were surprised at how tall and slender the Princess is. ‘Her face is thinner than I expected, but much prettier,’ said one woman.

“The glowing natural complexion of the Princess needed little highlight, just a glimmer of gold eye-shadow, a touch of mascara, and a subtle lip-colouring.”

For the ninth consecutive year, New Zealanders have voted Harcourts their Most Trusted real estate brand, making Harcourts the only real estate brand to achieve this honour since the award’s inception in 2013.

Harcourts Managing Director Bryan Thomson says the continued support from New Zealanders is what keeps the entire team at Harcourts striving to remain at the top. “We are incredibly proud of our teams across the country and we want to thank every New Zealander who has worked with us and voted us number one.”

“More than anything, New Zealanders want to know they are dealing with a real estate brand who they trust and who will do what they say they are going to do. They want to deal with sales consultants and property managers that have expertise, honesty and integrity and who are committed to achieving the best possible result for them. This is something we have been told we excel at and something we plan to continue improving on,” says Thomson.

“We also continue to foster strong relationships with our communities around the country through the work our people do by way of The Harcourts Foundation and the many other charities our team contribute to.”

A light aeroplane snapped a power line before crashing into a farm paddock and ending up on its nose, leaving the two men onboard “lucky to be alive”.

Guy Stoddart​ was first to arrive to the scene at his property at Glentui in North Canterbury on Wednesday, after he noticed the light plane flying unusually low as he drove to nearby Rangiora.

When he arrived home he saw “the plane with its tail sticking up in the sky”. “Gets your adrenaline going when you see something like that,” Stoddart said.


The two members of the Canterbury Recreational Aircraft Club onboard the plane were injured, one seriously and another moderately.

“They’re a really lucky pair to be alive,” Stoddart said.

On this day, 106 years ago, New Zealand and Australian soldiers – the Anzacs – landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

Nowadays, Anzac Day serves as a day to acknowledge all those who have died in warfare, and honours returned servicemen and women.

Traditional dawn services have returned across New Zealand this year, after the Covid-19 pandemic put a stop to them last year.
