The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh had no public engagements outside the UK in 2016.
All figures have been compiled by the Press Association using the Court Circular.
Distances travelled vary from year to year as once a far-away destination such as New Zealand has been visited, it may not receive a royal visitor for some time.
The Queen, who turned 90 in April, has cut down on long-haul flights in recent years, while other senior royals have taken over the responsibility, travelling to far-off destinations on her behalf.
