"On behalf of all New Zealanders, I want to pass on our congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the happy news of the birth of their baby son," Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.
"The birth of a baby is such an incredibly exciting time.
"We wish them all the best, and very much look forward to seeing them all in New Zealand somewhere down the track.
"In line with their request we have not sent a gift, but the Government is marking the birth with donations to two New Zealand child-centred charities.
"We will be making a donation of $1000 to Little Sprouts, which gives packs of baby and children items to families in need.
"We are also donating 10 trees to Trees for Kiwi Babies, for native tree planting events during Matariki 2019. These donations will celebrate all New Zealand babies, as well as the new Royal baby," Jacinda Ardern said.
