Meghan defeats Harry in New Zealand gumboot toss

WELLINGTON - Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan threw rubber gumboots on Tuesday as children cheered in a competition in New Zealand's largest city of Auckland, though Harry's team ended up losing to his wife's side.

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake felt by thousands of people in New Zealand did not disrupt the schedule of the couple, who are on the final leg of a Pacific tour that has included Australia, Fiji and Tonga.

"There wasn't too much of a rivalry," Isabella Iti, 10, said after the gumboot toss. "I think she was thinking that there was no chance that she would win. But she did."
