A man has been arrested by police in New Zealand for allegedly planning to attack the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.

The 74-year old "known anti-royalist" was detained about an hour before the couple arrived at Auckland quayside to meet well-wishers, police said.

A small group of protesters held up placards urging the royals to "get a job" during the walkabout on Monday.

Charles and Camilla are in New Zealand on a seven-day Diamond Jubilee tour.
