Around 20,000 people came out to watch the Prince and Princess of Wales do a walkabout in Cathedral Square on April 28, 1983, despite “chilly, intermittent and penetrating rain”, but The Press also wondered if royal tours were approaching their use-by date.
The tone of the paper’s editorial was very different from that struck 30 years earlier, when the Queen toured.
“Rapid communications and travel have removed much of the novelty from Royal appearances in New Zealand,” The Press said. “The charm and interest remain enhanced this time by the presence of the future Queen, Princess Diana, and the baby who could some day be King William V.”
The Press looked into the future: “Before the end of the century Prince Charles can probably expect to be King Charles III. His son, at present in Auckland, may well still be on the throne in the unimaginable world of the year 2050.
“Although New Zealand has not the vigorous republican movement evident in Australia, the question is reasonably asked here whether an hereditary monarch, living 12,000 miles away, will continue to be the most appropriate head of State for New Zealand.”
Despite this, every move was still recorded and star power was very evident, as The Press reported.
“A faint touch of blue shone through the clouds about 10 minutes before the end of the walkabout. It highlighted the Princess’ hair and brought favourable comments from a cluster of young girls.
“Many people were surprised at how tall and slender the Princess is. ‘Her face is thinner than I expected, but much prettier,’ said one woman.
“The glowing natural complexion of the Princess needed little highlight, just a glimmer of gold eye-shadow, a touch of mascara, and a subtle lip-colouring.”

Found it good as a starter bike getting back into bike riding again after about 40 or 50 years it's got an accelerator for starting off and 5 levels of assist. I have done almost 1000k on it since October when we brought it id like to sell it for about $1,700 I'm open to offers brought it for 2300 inOctober had no trouble with it. It would be best for a woman I'm only about 5 ft 4 so it's a great size for me.
