Prince Harry announced Tuesday he is to leave the British army after 10 years' service that has seen him fight on the front line twice in Afghanistan.
The 30-year-old said it had been a "really tough decision" to conclude his military service in June, but added that he was looking forward to a new chapter in his life.
His decision will come as a surprise to many royal-watchers as the prince was living out his boyhood dream and seemed quite content with the army life.
"I am considering the options for the future and I am really excited about the possibilities," he said.
"After a decade of service, moving on from the army has been a really tough decision," he said.
"The experiences I have had over the last 10 years will stay with me for the rest of my life. For that I will always be hugely grateful."
"So while I am finishing one part of my life, I am getting straight into a new chapter. I am really looking forward to it."
"This is Prince Harry's first visit to New Zealand and we are very keen to show him as much of the country as possible," he said.
William, his wife Kate and their infant son Prince George were given a rapturous welcome when they toured the two countries last year.
