Prince Harry offers young New Zealander a job

"We'll sort you out." - by Grace Back
  • 30 Oct 2018

Over the past 16 days, many have had the opportunity to meet the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their Royal Tour. But, one New Zealander has managed the ultimate success - securing a job off from Prince Harry.

Lucia Kennedy, 19, acted as the host for Harry and Meghan's visit at a youth mental health event in a Wellington cafe on October 29.

Speaking to Stuff.co.nz, Kennedy revealed the royal had promised to "sort out" a job for her when she finished her university degree.

“They came up the stairs in the Maranui Cafe, I was introduced and basically had a chat to them. Then I took them around all the participants and kept the conversation going at the next two tables,” Kennedy told the publication.

“I said to Harry, ‘I finish uni in two years, I’d love to come and work for you’. He said ‘we’d love to have you, just give us a yell when you come over we’ll sort it out’.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will visit Redvale, New Zealand, on October 30. 

Here, the couple will dedicate a 20-hectare area of the North Shore to the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy project and then join children from the Trees for Survival group for welly-wanging.
