What a cheek! Heir gets Zeal of approval

-

IT looks like the Prince ofwales is reaching for a fig leaf to cover the modesty of a near-naked young man.

In fact, Charles was receiving a traditiona­l Maori welcome on the final day of his New Zealand tour.

The Prince, 71, looked on as a man showed off an impressive buttock tattoo while performing the ceremony in Kaikoura on the South Island.

Kaikoura, a town of around 2,000 people, was struck by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in 2016.

The Prince yesterday met people who were among the first to respond to the emergency on the evening the tremor struck.

He and wife Camilla, 72, were also introduced to a pair of friendly llamas that are used for tours in the town.

The royal couple were today due to fly back to the UK after completing their eight-day trip with a visit to the Solomon Islands.
