The royal couple, who have already visited Australia, Fiji and Tonga, was received in Wellington, the capital of the country, by Premier Jacinda Ardern.
Ms. Ardern, popular throughout the world, marked her first year as head of the country earlier this week, after forming her government through a coalition agreement that followed an inconclusive election.
In June, Ardern became the second world leader, after the Pakistani Benazir Bhutto, in 1990, to have given birth.

The royal couple left Australia on Sunday night after the end of the Invictus Games in Sydney and was accompanied by several New Zealand athletes from the Invictus Games.
The Duchess of Sussex wore a brown plaid coat and a simple black dress, while Prince Harry was dressed in a dark gray suit. Both had poppy pins as a souvenir on their chests.
On Sunday night, the couple will attend a reception celebrating the 125th anniversary of women's suffrage. New Zealand became the first country in the world where women could vote in the 1893 parliamentary elections.
The trip to New Zealand comes after the royal couple's travels to Australia, Fiji and Tonga, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Invictus Games, a visit to Fraser Island, Queensland, and a stroll through the island. One of Melbourne's famous trams.
Along the way, the royal protocol took second place, because the beard was caressed, hugs were given and received and the hearts warmed the heart during many memorable moments.

Thousands of people rushed to Twitter to congratulate the couple a few minutes after the announcement.
Baby Sussex's first gift included miniature Ugg boots and a stuffed kangaroo with Joey.
Daphne steals another kiss
In her third meeting with Prince Harry, Daphne Dunne, 98-year-old war widow, stole another kiss from the Duke of Sussex who affectionately commented on her pink-dyed hair.

Thousands of people joined Daphne at the Opera, hoping to catch sight of the couple, although most of them saw the occasion through their camera phone. .

Prince Harry crossed the Royal Line when he politely refused to sign a pair of special Invictus Games parakeet smugglers for members of the Australian team.
Damian Irish, who concocted the plan to capture the Prince's autograph, said he was "a formidable man" despite the rejection of his claim.
"He told us that he would like to sign them, but he was not allowed to do that," Irish said.
A hug for comfort
The main reason for the couple's visit was to open the Invictus Games, an event created by the former army captain to help soldiers and wounded, wounded or sick women in their physical and mental recovery.
Prince Harry climbed the 1332 steps of the Harbor Bridge Bridge with Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Ambassadors of the Invictus Games, while the flag of the event was hoisted over Sydney.
But the most touching moment came in the descent, when he kissed Invictus Games ambassador, Gwen Cherne, whose husband had committed suicide after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
She then told the media how much she appreciated the Prince's interest in his story and his sincere support.
