A powerful earthquake has struck New Zealand's North Island, which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are visiting on their royal tour. The centre of the quake was about 280km south of Auckland, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are visiting. The next engagement for the Duke and Duchess was a visit to Pillars, 'a charity for children of prisoners' operating across New Zealand. Meghan and Harry will later visit central Auckland for a meet-and-greet with local residents before attending a reception at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. New Zealand Civil Defence confirmed there is no tsunami threat to the country after the earthquake.
