The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) has revealed the total cost of having The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit New Zealand - $1,007,729.
In a statement today, the DIA said the five-day visit by Harry and Meghan "raised the profile of New Zealand's efforts in conservation, mental health advocacy, youth empowerment, and helped celebrate Māori and Pasifika communities".
The visit included stops in Wellington, Abel Tasman National Park, Auckland and Rotorua.
The DIA said more than 80 foreign journalists came to New Zealand to cover the visit, and about 300 journalist in New Zealand were registered as covering it.
The visit was the first significant international tour as a couple, and was the beginning of a tour which included visits to Australia, Fiji and Tonga.
The DIA said they had a total planned expenditure for the visit of $1,025,000, meaning the actual cost was slightly under budget.
