Mum's The Word! Lloyd's Wedding Plans
New Zealand Woman's Weekly|14 May 2018

London calling! The newshub star reporter is buzzing about his new post.

Mum's The Word! Lloyd's Wedding Plans

Huddled together on a picnic blanket covering autumn leaves, new Newshub Europe correspondent Lloyd Burr and his mother Wendy clink teacups and giggle, joking about the indecency of having scones without jam and cream.

Like two peas in a pod, they bounce cheeky remarks off each other and soak in their last hours together in New Zealand before Lloyd flies to the UK to begin his new role, which is starting off with one of the biggest news events of 2018 – the nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

“I might watch the wedding,” his mother confirms as Lloyd (30) discusses his excitement at reporting on the May 19 event at Windsor Castle. “I don’t know if I can watch TV for that long, but I’ll see her walk down the aisle.”

Laughing infectiously, the former political reporter responds, “Oh, you might watch it, Mum?”

Together, the duo talk about Lloyd’s early years growing up on a lifestyle block in Tauranga, where he helped to move the cows between running old dirt bikes into the ground, living off home-kill meat and freshly grown vegetables.

“My parents were pretty perfect,” Lloyd says, brushing off humble sighs from Wendy (59).

“Being a journalist now, I see all these horror stories about people who have these really unfortunate lives and it makes you realise how lucky you had it.”
