Prince Harry has been put through his paces at the Linton military camp in New Zealand, learning the army's haka and getting behind the wheel of an all-terrain vehicle.
The 30-year-old prince, known in the British army as Captain Wales, landed at the army base near Palmerston North in an NH90 helicopter just before lunchtime on Wednesday.
The former Apache attack helicopter pilot, kitted out in British army camouflage, launched straight into the action, putting on an extra jacket, goggles and a helmet to get into the driver's seat of the ATV.
Prince Harry appeared to be enjoying himself, speeding off across the grass before being taken on a training course with an army driving instructor.
He was then roped in to help "lift a hangi" - or remove food from a Maori earth oven - with lamb, pork, chicken and vegetables on the menu for lunch.
But the highlight of the day was learning, then performing for the waiting media, the army's own haka.
Prince Harry had just 20 minutes to perfect it before the cameras and reporters were allowed back in to the gymnasium.
The royal seemed to be concentrating hard as he went through the steps.
Prince Harry is quitting the British army in June after a decade of full-time military service, including two tours of duty in Afghanistan.
Before arriving in NZ at the weekend, the prince spent a month in Australia on a secondment with the Australian Defence Force - his last active military duty.
