Queen Elizabeth II has sent a message of support to New Zealand in the wake of Saturday's devastating earthquake in Christchurch.

The Queen, who is New Zealand's head of state, has asked Prime Minister John Key to send her good wishes to those affected by the magnitude 7 quake.

Her comments came after Prime Minister John Key cancelled a trip to Europe, which was to have included a visit to the royals' Scottish residence Balmoral.
