The 2002 New Zealand Royal Visit Honours was an appointment by Elizabeth II to the Royal Victorian Order, to mark her visit to New Zealand in February that year as part of her golden jubilee celebrations. The only appointment, dated 22 February 2002, was of Leanne Woon, who served as equerry to the Queen during the visit. Woon was the first woman to serve in that capacity.[1][2][3]
