LONDON (Reuters) - Prince Harry and his wife, Megan, took part in a competition to throw shoes in Auckland, New Zealand, on Tuesday.
A 6.1-magnitude quake, felt by thousands in New Zealand, did not affect the agenda of Duke and Duke of Sussex visiting New Zealand for their last tour of the Pacific, including Australia, Fiji and Tonga.
I think she (Megan) thought she did not have a chance to win but she won, "said 10-year-old Isabella Iti, who attended the race after throwing the shoes.
Harry and Megan led a team of children in a competition to throw rubber boots as far as possible.
Megan, who was wearing black pants and a team jacket, led the team to victory after throwing a rubber shoe about one meter away from Harry's shoes.
The game is best known in the rural town of Taihabi, 420 km south of Auckland, which hosts an annual shoe-throwing festival.
In the evening, Harry and Megan traveled to southern Oakland to visit the Pillars, a charity that cares for prisoners' children.
The couple asked to donate to charities instead of giving presents on the occasion of their marriage in May.
The New Zealand government donated NZ $ 5,000 ($ 3,071) to the Pillars Society, recognizing the interest of Harry and Megan in programs for poor children.
