WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Britain’s Prince William laid a wreath at an Anzac Day service Thursday in New Zealand, where he will later visit survivors of last month’s mosque attacks.
The Duke of Cambridge attended the service in Auckland alongside Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and laid a wreath of red and white flowers on behalf of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Anzac Day is a memorial holiday on the anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers, known as Anzacs, landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. More than 10,000 soldiers from the two countries were killed during that WWI campaign in what’s now Turkey.
