The Duchess of Sussex looked sensational on her first official engagement in Tonga with her husband Prince Harry. Following a wonderful visit to Australia and Fiji, the royal couple were all smiles as they arrived at Consular House in central Nuku'alofa for a private audience with His Majesty King Tupou VI and Queen Nanasipau-u. Meghan, who is expecting her first child, was radiant in a floor-length white gown by New York designer Theia. The beautiful dress featured sparkling shoulder details, and the former actress teamed it with a stunning ring from her late mother-in-law Princess Diana's collection - which looks to be the same aquamarine piece she wore for her royal wedding reception.

Meghan once again slightly changed her hairstyle at the engagement, wearing her brunette locks in a higher bun than her usual low chignon. She also wore her favourite Aquazzura Deneuve heels, which she often chooses for formal engagements. The royal went for a classic makeup look, accentuating her eyes with a smoky eyeshadow and mascara and wearing a sweep of blush on her cheeks. Her clutch bag is by Givenchy, and earrings by Birks.
