A beaming Duke and Duchess of Sussex were kitted out in traditional dress as they visited a handicrafts exhibition in Tonga on Friday.
The couple looked to be in good spirits as they were presented with floral garlands before later being clothed in a ta’ovala – a mat which is wrapped around the waist and signifies Tongan respect to the higher ranks.
Sharing a smile or two, Harry and Meghan strolled hand-in-hand as they met local traders and craftsmen.
