Britain's Prince Harry told schoolchildren on a remote New Zealand island that his favourite food is spaghetti ‘bolognese’, that he calls the Queen Elizabeth II ‘granny’ and he wish he could speak other languages.

The Prince visited Halfmoon Bay School on Monday on the third day of a weeklong tour of the South Pacific nation and answered some tricky questions posed by children.

The primary school has 24 students and is the only one on Stewart Island, population 378.

The visit came the morning after Harry deviated from his official programme by attending a quiz night at an island bar. His team, called ‘The Ginger Ninjas’ in honour of his red hair, finished second to a team comprising his own bodyguards, according to British newspaper ‘The Telegraph’.
