1974 New Zealand Royal Visit Honours
The 1974 New Zealand Royal Visit Honours were appointments by Elizabeth II to the Royal Victorian Order, to mark her visit to New Zealand that year. The Queen was accompanied by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales (now Charles III), Anne, Princess Royal and Mark Phillips on the tour, and attended the 10th British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch and celebrations at Waitangi to mark New Zealand Day. The honours were announced at the conclusion of the tour on 7 and 8 February 1974.[1][2]
The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honour.
