The couple attended an official reception and dinner, featuring traditional entertainment.

During the reception, Harry told Education Minister Penisimani Fifita: "Thank you for giving the schoolchildren the day off, to line the street from the airport.

"It was very nice to see so many Tongan flags."

While the pregnant duchess was advised to "take care of herself" by a guest at the reception.

Among the dignitaries Harry and Meghan were Justice Charles Cato, a New Zealand judge, and his Russian wife, Miriam.

Mrs Cato said: "I asked, how does she feel? She responded very, thank you. I said 'No visible signs yet!'

That prompted the duchess to look down.

Mrs Cato, 41, added: "As a doctor, I'm a mother of two.

"I asked her to take care of me She promised to do so."

Meghan's stunning floor-length dress is her third outfit of the day Jason Wu dress and red Self-Portrait dress.

But the duchess suffered a wardrobe malfunction when she arrived for the tenth day of her royal turn after the price tag was still attached to her 345 bright red gown.

The red dress mirrored Tonga's national flag.

Meghan and Harry arrived in the Pacific nation for the latest leg of their tour earlier today.

The royal couple left Nadi in western Fiji on Qantas charter plane for Tonga, and were met at Fua'amotu Airport by Princess Angelika Latufuipeka.

Meghan and Harry then walked the red carpet, accompanied by traditional entertainment from Pelehake Villagers.

Schoolchildren had been given to the streets of Nuku'alofa, waving flags and cheering as the convoy made the 40-minute journey.

Earlier in the day, before leaving Fiji, the duke unveiled for a British-Fijian soldier who died at the Battle of Mirbat.

Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba, of the Special Air Service (SAS), single-handedly held off 250 insurgents with a 25-pounder field gun after being shot in the war in Oman in 1972.

He was part of a nine-strong team based outside Mirbat when they were attacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Occupied Arabian Gulf (PFLOAG).

Sgt Labalaba was posthumously mentioned in dispatches for his bravery in battle.

After the ceremony, the President of Fiji, Major General Jioji Konrote, gave a short speech to the royal couple for their visit and congratulating them on their baby news.

He said: "Thank you for coming to Fiji and gracing us.

"It's good to know that you're coming back." "May Almighty God be with you now and in the future."

Harry also gave a speech, beginning with the traditional Fijian greeting 'Bula', and adding: "Thank you to the people of Fiji for the warm welcome we have received during our visit.

"The duchess and I are leaving with special memories of your country and look forward to returning to the future."
