The 1920 New Zealand Royal Visit Honours were appointments by George V of New Zealanders to the Royal Victorian Order, to mark the visit of the Prince of Wales to New Zealand that year. The recipients were invested by the prince at a dinner aboard HMS Renown in Lyttelton Harbour on 21 March 1920.[1][2]
The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honour.
