Through a cost sharing agreement with the Government of Canada, B.C. has picked up part of the costs associated with site assessments at each location as well as media transportation, accommodation, and tours.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were based in Victoria during their eight-day Canadian tour from Sept. 24 to Oct. 1, 2016 — that included stops in Vancouver, Kelowna, Bella Bella, Haida Gwaii and a trip to the Yukon.

The expenses not only included the royal visit, but a dry run for royal, provincial and federal staff along with a media site trip.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark accompanied the royal couple on all of their public appearances, except for the day trip to Haida Gwaii. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined the royals for the first two days of tour.

British Columbia also picked up the $45,205.64 tab for the royal family flying to and from Canada from the United Kingdom, along with the costs of travel while in British Columbia. This part of the bill also includes the travel costs associated with royal staff.

Heritage Canada has not yet provided their share of the bill but will make it publicly available once the final total is tabulated.

Numbers provided by the provincial government state 435 media personel were accredited for the royal tour and the visit reached almost 106 million people around the world through different forms of media.

The total bill was released following a federal Access to Information request. But the total could still change if additional expenditures are added later this year, the documents say.

The records show the largest expenses were connected to pay, overtime and travel costs, which totaled about $1.9 million.

A separate bill for other security services came to $196,129.03.
