One lucky little kiwi is about to get the royal treatment.
Next week, Rotorua's popular tourist destination, Rainbow Springs will welcome Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.
Kiwi Husbandry Manager, Emma Bean is tasked with teaching the newly-weds about our national bird and efforts to protect them.
"I'm incredibly humbled," Emma said.
"I look forward to seeing their reactions when they first see a kiwi egg or a chick. We have the opportunity to see people's eyes light up when they first see a kiwi because they're on one side of the glass and we are on the other. Not only do they see kiwi but we get to see how much it means to people to get to see a kiwi."
