Prince Harry and Meghan Markle admitted during Oprah’s interview they were considering moving to New Zealand.
The couple said they “never left” the royal family, but wanted to step back from being senior royals “to catch their breath” – perhaps in a country like New Zealand. They said the request was denied.
“My biggest concern is history repeating itself,” said Harry, referring to his mother’s death: “To receive no help at all and be told ‘This is how it is, we’ve all been there'”
Oprah asks Harry to tell her in the simplest terms why she left.
As a couple, the couple only visited New Zealand once, in 2018, where they met a large number of people while traveling.

She also had several “conversations with my dad – before he stopped taking my calls”.
Why did Prince Charles stop taking his son’s calls?
“Because I take matters into my own hands,” he said.

Ms Deborah (Debbie) Ann Hockley
Companion of the NZ Order of Merit for cricket service
Nearly 20 years before her biggest win in a long and successful cricket career, the great Debbie Hockley of White Fern continues to strive to make the women’s game as strong as ever in New Zealand.
Hockley first became a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit at the 1999 New Years awards before helping lead White Fern to victory in the 2000 World Cup final, the country’s only World Cup cricket title.
Hockley, who has been New Zealand Cricket President since 2016, has become the first woman to be elected to the position in the organization’s 122 years of history, said the latest award was a surprise.
“I was a completely stunned mullet. I received an email from the Honors unit and I have to admit I thought someone might be making fun of me,” Hockley told NZME.
Hockley had an international cricket career representing New Zealand between 1979 and 2000. He retired from playing after the 2000 World Cup, having amassed 1301 games, including four centuries in 19 friendly matches. He played 118 internationals one day and was captain for 27 matches, including six friendly matches.

Reflecting on his career, the victory over Australia at Bert Sutcliffe Oval has been in the spotlight after nearly winning the World Cup in previous years.
“I know that the tournament will be the last … having attended the previous four World Cups and being part of a successful team that has reached two finals which we unfortunately lost, winning that World Cup final at Lincoln College is undoubtedly the pinnacle of what has been. was so long trying to get that nice trophy, “said Hockley.

Since retiring Hockley has been a strong supporter of women’s cricket. She contributed to a major review by Cricket New Zealand in 2015 on the state of female cricket nationally.
As a result of the review, Cricket New Zealand has significantly increased the number of women represented on national and provincial councils and successfully promoted cricket programs that encourage school-age girls to participate in a stress-free, fun and enjoyable environment.
“I think especially in the last few years, New Zealand Cricket has really been involved with seeing if we can fix maybe a few years in which we might not pay too much attention to the females in cricket. I’m very happy about that.
“We have a fair way of going, but the fact that we recognize that we need to provide more resources for the girls and women who play cricket, I’m happy with that. We want cricket to be a game for all New Zealanders, especially us. want to encourage more girls and women to play. I can’t help but be a support for that considering I myself have so many opportunities. “

Companion of the NZ Order of Merit on athletic services and bridge games

Jelley was then the oldest top-level coach in New Zealand sports at 94 years of age.
Jelley said Walker’s Olympic gold was a career highlight, but known as a quiet coach, he said the most excited he had ever had during the race was the famous 1974 battle between Walker and the great Tanzanian star Filbert Baby at the Christchurch Commonwealth Games. Baby outperformed Walker in the 1500m final with both runners breaking world time records.
“My brother told me it was the only time he saw me excited at the end of the race. After the race I looked at my watch, got up from my seat and shouted ‘this is a world record’. It was very unlike me,” he told NZME .
