After a hugely successful visit to Australia, Fiji and Tonga, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now on their way to New Zealand to finish up their 16-day tour.
The couple spent 10 days on official engagements in Australia, plus four days in Fiji and Tonga.
They wound up their official events in Australia at the Sydney closing ceremony of the Invictus Games for war wounded that Prince Harry founded.

The royal couple joined the 12,000-strong crowd on Saturday night in clapping and cheering throughout the two-hour long ceremony that included performances by Perth rock outfit Birds of Tokyo and the gospel singers from the US-based Kingdom Choir who performed at Meghan and Harry's wedding in May.
The closing ceremony was the final event on the royal couple's official itinerary for their 10-day visit to Sydney, Dubbo, Melbourne and Fraser Island.
The Invictus Games was the major reason for the first overseas tour of the royal couple, but they also focused their engagements on the environment, mental health and youth development.
Highlights of the visit included breaking protocol with regular hugs for well-wishers, including war widow Daphne Dunne and a five-year-old Dubbo schoolboy who tugged at the prince's beard.
They were also openly affectionate with each other and managed to charm everyone they met.
Harry and Meghan were farewelled by officials, representing the Governor-General, prime minister and NSW premier, who thanked Their Royal Highnesses for their time in Australia.
It was a windy goodbye for the couple, with Meghan wearing a silken burgundy dress and peach suede heels and Harry a dark grey suit.
Harry and Meghan, who announced their pregnancy on their first night in Australia a fortnight ago, took a Royal New Zealand Air Force plane for the flight to Wellington just after 10am on Sunday.
Several members of the New Zealand Invictus Games team were on board the flight, which will be met on arrival by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern later on Sunday
During their four days in Aotearoa, the Duke and Duchess will visit a kiwi bird breeding centre, see some of the country's most majestic environs in the South Island's Abel Tasman National Park, and even join in a gumboot-throwing contest.
