If Prince Harry thought he was going to get a simple handshake from Kiwi war hero Willie Apiata when the pair met yesterday, he was in for a big surprise.
Instead Apiata, a Victoria Cross recipient, greeted the fifth in line to the throne with a hongi - a traditional Maori greeting.
Apiata and Prince Harry crossed paths at the Invictus Games, being held in Toronto.
The games - an international Paralympic-style multi-sport event - were founded by the young prince.
They enable wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and veterans to participate in sports including wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball and indoor rowing.
