“I am delighted to welcome Their Royal Highnesses back to New Zealand,” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.

This will be Charles and Camilla’s third visit to New Zealand as a couple, with their last tour of the country occurring in November 2015.

“I know that the couple have greatly enjoyed New Zealanders’ warm hospitality and manaakitanga when they visited previously,” she added.

Jacinta Arden and her fiance, Clarke Gayford met Charles and Camilla in April, on a visit to London.

The Prime Minister holds Charles in high regard and claims that his visit will be a beneficial experience for environmental activists.

“The Prince of Wales has been a strong advocate for the environment, conservation and sustainability for many years.  This visit will provide opportunities for him to engage with New Zealanders on those subjects, and to learn more about the ways in which New Zealand is preparing for the future.”

Many other royals have also recently visited New Zealand.

Prince William visited New Zealand in April, after the mosque shooting in Christchurch.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also visited the country on their tour last October.

However, further details will be announced in due course.
