Stewart Island - Britain's Prince Harry told schoolchildren on Monday on a remote New Zealand island that his favourite food is spaghetti Bolognese, he calls Queen Elizabeth II "granny" and he wishes he could speak other languages.

The Prince visited Halfmoon Bay School on the third day of a weeklong tour of the South Pacific nation and answered some tricky questions posed by the 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 the island's only bar, the South Sea Hotel.
