Prince William, Kate and eight-month-old Prince George arrived on a Qantas flight from Britain just after 7am and were driven to the tarmac where they boarded a Royal New Zealand Air Force plane to Wellington.
Kate, in a grey MaxMara wrap dress, carried Prince George on the tarmac at Sydney International Airport. The royal baby looked happy, flapping his arms around while being nursed by his mother.
The royal family will have nine days in New Zealand, before arriving in Sydney on April 16 for a 10-day tour in Australia.
