Their Christchurch visit started with an official welcome from Ngai Tahu and local dignitaries outside the Christchurch City Council offices at midday.
The royal motorcade then travelled through damaged parts of the central business district and stopped so the royals could inspect several red-zoned houses.
The owner of one, Catherine MacPherson, spoke to the couple and said they were relaxed, engaging and empathetic.

About 60,000 people were expected at the final day of the show.
