It was an early start for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on day 11 of the royal tour as the couple met with Tonga's Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers at the nation's St George Government Building. The royals looked happy and relaxed after a much-needed rest following their jam-packed tour of Fiji.
