Prince Harry and Meghan's royal tour: All the best photos from Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand

October 31, 2018

How sweet! Meghan slipped into her husband's Norrøna Oslo Jacket for her last look of their 16-day royal tour, pairing the puffer jacket with her blue Givenchy top from earlier in the day, black jeans and Birdies 'The Starling' slippers. Prince Harry previously wore the warm coat on the beach in Abel Tasman National Park. Harry looked casual cool in a navy button-up shirt, beige pants and brown suede shoes.

This young cyclist had a special moment with the duke. Harry called the area "heaven," asking, "do you know how lucky you are to have a place like this?"

One last romantic stroll for the loved-up pair, who will welcome their first child in spring 2019. They've held hands through the entire tour, so it's only fitting that they ended on such a beautiful note amid the 117-year-old trees.

The sight was stunning as they gazed into a geothermal pool, surely reminiscing over the last 16 days and looking ahead to their future as a family of three. As they left the forest ahead of their return to the UK tomorrow, Prince Harry said, "It’s been great, thanks guys!"

The couple went on to a Kiwi breeding programme in Rainbow Springs. They were clearly fascinated while learning about New Zealand's national bird and the conservationists who are working hard to keep the species alive. They saw three-day-old chicks and were each given the opportunity to name one - Meghan going with Koha (gift) and cheeky Harry opting for Tihei (sneeze of life).

Meghan changed into a beautiful Givenchy short-sleeved sweater and pleated two-toned midi skirt for lunch and a walkabout in Rotura, which she wore with her Manolo Blahnik BB pumps. Fans were quick to point out that her skirt was sheer in the sunlight, surely an unintentional side-effect - and just another moment that brings them closer to their duchess, who has fashion faux-pas just like us!

Prince Harry and Meghan kicked off their final day of their royal tour with a powhiri, a Māori welcoming ceremony, and luncheon in Their Highnesses' honour at Te Papaiouru Marae on Oct. 31 in Rotorua, New Zealand.

The couple both donned traditional Maori cloaks, or Korowai, for the welcoming ceremony.

Prince Harry participated in the traditional Maori Wero ceremony, where warriors determine whether visitors come in peace or with hostile intent. He did the same on the couple's first day in New Zealand, during a welcoming ceremony at Government House.

Meghan showed off her megawatt smile at the ceremony, where she wore a traditional jade Maori necklace called a Pounamu alongside her cloak, a gift from Governor General Patsy Reddy. Designed by Kiri Nathan, the website states that the necklace "denotes integrity, strength, status and power."

As did Prince Harry, who's an old pro!

Dad-to-be Harry spoke during their visit, making the first part of his speech in Maori - which brought gasps of delight as he used the word "whaiaipo," or sweetheart. He said: "Thank you for the beautiful cloak you have so kindly gifted to myself and the duchess. We appreciate the skill of the weavers who made it, and the aroha (compassion) that has gone into its creation. This cloak is a taonga (possession) that will be cherished in our family.

"One of the joys of our visit to New Zealand has been the opportunity to meet so many young New Zealanders who are devoting their talents and energy to making a difference.

"There are creative, gifted and caring Te Arawa Rangatahi (young people) here, who are using their talents to preserve and promote the Maori language, to support mental wellbeing, and to achieve in areas that will benefit their communities, and their country."

The duke was gifted a tewhatewha, a Maori weapon with an axe on one end and a point on the other. "I am sure you are going to Twickenham when the All Blacks play England on November 11 - make sure you don't take that," joked local district council member Trevor Maxwell.

Keen cook Meghan was thrilled to learn about geothermal cooking methods in Rotura while the couple attended a formal lunch with the Te Arawa people. Their meal was prepared by sisters Kasey and Karena Bird, the 2014 winners of MasterChef New Zealand, and enjoyed a kitchen tour from Tekariki Mitchell, 50, and his mother, Rene Mitchell, 70. Rene showed them the traditional golden pudding cooked in the steam, an old recipe from her mother and aunties.

"They said our way of cooking food with the Hangi (geothermal oven) was so wonderful," said Rene. "I told them how I learnt through my mum, and that the recipe itself is very simply but over the years people have added their own variations, such as a handful of raisins."

The couple had requested traditional fare, feasting on a seafood platter, pork and chicken with gravy, stuffing and seasonable vegetables. In addition to the pudding they had rhubarb and velvet custard for dessert. And 28-year-old Kasey was thrilled to discover what they'd eaten! "We plated up their food and then went back in there - they had eaten nearly all of it so we were like 'oh my gosh!'"

Locals in Rotura were going wild for the couple as they walked clad in their korowai. The cloaks were crafted in a design inspired by the Sussexes' coat of arms. Artist Norma Sturley said: "The taniko (weaving technique) represents the coming together of two people and cultures with each side representing their whakapapa (family and genealogy).

"The duchess's taniko pattern features three quills from the coat of arms representing the powers of words and communication, and the Californian sunshine is shown in the use of rays of gold.

"The blue speaks of the separation of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and England with the Pacific Ocean, as well as the duchess's links to the Pacific Ocean.

"The red symbolises royalty. The taniko weaving design also showcases manaakitanga (care) as (elder) Ngati Whakaue want to nurture the royal couple as a thank you for visiting Papaiouru."

On the second last day of their overseas royal tour, Prince Harry and Meghan arrived at the Auckland War Memorial Museum for a reception hosted by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in Auckland on Tuesday (Oct. 30) to kick off the second-last day of their tour on the North Shore. They unveiled a plaque dedicating a 20-hectare piece of native bush to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy before partaking in some welly-wanging (rainboot tossing!).

Meghan watched the dedication as someone graciously held an umbrella over her head to keep the rain at bay. The royal wore a navy cropped blazer by NZ designer Karen Walker with a black t-shirt, skinny J. Crew jeans and Muck's 'Reign' boots.

Prince Harry gave a speech as the Sussexes unveiled the newest addition to the Queen's network of conservation initiatives, saying, "My wife and I are delighted to be here at the opening of this covenant, which will form part of The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy network." The area will be called the Carol Whaley Native Bush, honouring a long-standing conservation supporter.

Prince Harry and Meghan unveiled the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy plaque by lowering a green and white feathered skirt as the prince held an umbrella to keep the couple dry. “The sooner we fully appreciate our surroundings and how interconnected we all are the better,” he said in a speech. “Not just for our planet, but for the balance of all its inhabitants.”

Meghan joined in on the fun, planting a tree with one young environmentalist as another taught Harry about the area's natural wonders.

The couple met all sorts of characters, from knights to an orc from Lord of the Rings, as well as makeup artists and costume experts, many with Hollywood experience. Attendee Carleen Murphy revealed that they had expected the duchess to talk about her past as an actress but she opted not to steal the spotlight. "She was so gracious and let others shine. She's even more beautiful than she is on screen. More lovely. An absolute beauty."

We are so grateful for your hospitality and the work you do to look after this beautiful place."

The Sussexes took time to meet local people during a barbecue lunch, where they impressed chief elder Barney Thomas. He revealed that they could not have been nicer. "They have had a hectic tour and we really want them to come here and chill out with us with no pressure and no stress. They are such down to earth people, and we want them to be part of the family. I was saying there are two of you and there will be three of you soon."

She accessorized with a necklace featuring a traditional Maori design, simple black heeled sandals and a black clutch. The 37-year-old topped off the look with sleek old Hollywood waves and natural makeup with a smoky eye. Her husband looked dapper as ever in a navy suit with a slim tie, and both wore poppies ahead of Remembrance Day.

With a portrait of the Queen as her backdrop, Meghan spoke to a matter close to her heart: feminism. "The achievements of the women of New Zealand who campaigned for their right to vote, and were the first in the world to achieve it, are universally admired. In looking forward to this very special occasion, I reflected on the importance of this achievement, but also the larger impact of what this symbolises.Because yes - women's suffrage is about feminism, but feminism is about fairness."

Prince Harry and Meghan arrived in Wellington on Oct. 28 to kick off their visit to the fourth and final country on their busy roster: New Zealand.

The duchess looked truly radiant at the closing ceremonies – she really has that pregnancy glow!

While speaking, Meghan opened up about her little known trips to visit troops in Afghanistan: "I’m not sure if many of you know this, but a few years ago, before I had met my husband, I had the incredible honour of visiting troops deployed all over the world; from the UK to Italy and Afghanistan, and several other countries. In travelling to these military bases, I was given a very special glimpse into the lives of those who serve our countries.

“I was able to see the unshakable bonds between service men and women on the ground together, but at the same time to feel the palpable longing for family and friends while deployed. Once home, the need for that anchor of support from loved ones, especially given how much it accelerates recovery and rehabilitation, is immeasurable."

She continued: “I’ve been reminded of those memories here. During this year’s Games in Sydney I've witnessed the most amazing support networks that surround competitors, and I've had the privilege of meeting several of these family and friends. The support system on the ground here at Invictus is something unlike any other. Because it’s not just cheering on your own, but realising that by the end of this week, ‘your own’ becomes everyone in the Invictus family.”

The couple visited an exhibition of Tongan handicrafts, mats and tapa cloths at the Fa'onelua Convention Centre – and even tried on some traditional clothes! These are called ta'ovalas, which is a mat wrapped around the waist.

Meghan dazzled in a green-and-white striped dress by Australian designer Martin Grant, who she's worn before during their royal tour. She paired the look with olive-green pumps (the same ones she wore to Prince Louis' christening!) and a Prada bag.

Meghan was a vision in white wearing a gown created by New York's Theia Couture. The column design featured oversized cap sleeves with beaded silver appliques and a nipped waist, which Irish designer Don O'Neill revealed had to be let out to accommodate her pregnancy. She paired the striking gown with Aquazzura heels, a Givenchy Clutch, Birks earrings and the piece de resistance: Princess Diana's aquamarine cocktail ring!

The duchess wore her late mother-in-law's aquamarine cocktail ring, which she first debuted on her wedding night as she headed to the evening reception with Prince Harry clad in her second gown by Stella McCartney. Meghan's arms were also particularly shiny for an important reason - it's believed that she slathered on the insect repellant for the outdoor event as Tonga has moderate risk of Zika virus, which can be harmful to pregnant women and unborn babies.

The Duchess of Sussex went big with her lashes at the Tongan welcome dinner, both top and bottom, pairing the eye-popping feature with bronzed skin, rosy cheeks and a pinky nude lip. She had tendrils framing her face with her hair in a high bun, a departure from her usual low and messy updo.

The former actress wore her favourite Birks evening earrings, the Snowflake Snowstorm diamond dazzlers she also wore while opening the Oceania exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

Prince Harry and Meghan chatted with attendees at the evening reception, where the duke gave a speech - including a message from his granny, the Queen! "Your Majesties, it gives me great pleasure that my grandson and his wife are visiting The Kingdom of Tonga. Our two families have enjoyed a deep and warm friendship over many years, and I hope that our close relationship continues with the next generation. To this day, I remember with fondness Queen Salote's attendance at my own Coronation, while Prince Philip and I have cherished memories from our three wonderful visits to your country in 1953, 1970 and 1977. In the months and years ahead, I wish Your Majesties and the people of Tonga every good fortune and happiness."

One of very few fashion faux pas for the duchess happened while she was exiting the plane in Tonga - <a href="https://ca.hellomagazine.com/fashion/02018102548219/meghan-markle-fashion-faux-pas-self-portrait-tonga">her tag was still on her Self-Portrait dress</a>! It was spotted hanging off the hem of her skirt, though this very relatable moment still couldn't take away from how beautiful she looked.

Prince Harry and Meghan were joined by the President of Fiji and senior representatives from the government and Armed Forces. Naturally, a gaggle of well-wishers crowded about to catch a glimpse of the two!

Prince Harry spoke to the crowd at the unveiling. "My grandparents have visited a number of times and Your Majesties have been frequent visitors to see my family over the years," he said. "We have a strong bond as members of the Commonwealth; we share so much history - and common values."

For her second solo engagement of the day, Meghan walked through Suva Market - one of the UN's Markets for Change. She was intended to spend fifteen minutes meeting the female vendors and learning about the initiative, but was whisked out by security after eight minutes.

A royal aide said: "It was hot, humid and uncomfortably busy and there were far larger crowds than expected. She met everyone she was meant to meet and left. There would have been a lot of people who would have been keen to meet her but she did meet those who had hoped to. On advice she was taken out due to a crowd management issue."

Prince Harry got to meet a woman who served his grandparents on their coronation tour in 1953! Litiana Vulaca, 87, was chosen by her employer Frances Lilian Charlton at age 21 to attend to the Queen and Prince Philip, who she revealed liked to take his lumps of sugar with his hands rather than a spoon - much to her surprise!

The dad-to-be participated in a demonstration of kava making by Joeli Nasqqa and Eparama Uluiuiti. "How much of this do you drink at the weekend?" he joked, adding, "It would be easier to just drink a beer!"

Prince Harry and Meghan held hands as they arrived at the University of the South Pacific on their second day in Fiji (Oct. 24), where they met with students and each gave an address. She spoke to a cause very close to her heart, the importance of education for women, who can "create incredible futures" when "given the right tools to succeed." She also made an exciting announcement that two new grants will be awarded at Fijian universities by The Association of Commonwealth Universities, one of the Queen's patronages, to fund workshops to empower female staff.

The expectant duchess was also given a traditional garland to wear.

Meghan wore a beautiful ruffled Figue dress on the second day of the couple's tour in Fiji, the red-and-blue floral Frederica wrap style number with pom poms on the belt, which retails for $1950. She anchored the look with her Castaner espadrilles and carried an oversized clutch. The duchess styled her hair in a messy bun with tendrils tucked behind her ears.

The future mom shared her belief that learning should be for all. “Everyone should be afforded the opportunity to receive the education they want, but more importantly the education they have the right to receive," she said. "And for women and girls in developing countries, this is vital." She added: "I know the personal feeling of pride and excitement that comes with attending university. From the moment you receive your acceptance letter, to the exams you spend countless late nights studying for, the lifelong friendships you make with your fellow alumni."

After making an empowering speech at the University of the South Pacific, Meghan and Harry split up for the afternoon. The duchess arrived at the British High Commissioner's residence for a morning tea.

The 37-year-old foodie was able to learn about local food and try her hand at preparing the traditional dish lote, made from smoked breadfruit and served either as a breakfast or a dessert. She worked with chef trainer Alisi Delai, who helped Meghan to scrape the fruit from a coconut.

On day two of the Sussexes' Fiji tour, Prince Harry headed out solo to lay a wreath at the country's war memorial and meet some of Fiji's veterans, some of whom fought with the British Armed forces. The duke wore his tropical Blues and Royals uniform as he saluted during the ceremony and gave a speech. "I must emphasize my respect, admiration and camaraderie with the Fijian soldiers that I served with in Afghanistan," he said. "We trained together, we fought together, and most importantly we laughed together."

Prince Harry laid a wreath for the fallen soldiers of Fiji, a country that still has British military ties to this day. The British army currently counts 1250 Fijians among its members. He included a note that read: "In grateful memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice inthe service of their country. Loloma kei na masu [Love and prayers]."

After a rainy welcome ceremony, the couple cleaned up to perfection at the Grand Pacific Hotel before attending a state reception hosted by the President on Tuesday (Oct. 23). Prince Harry was dapper as ever in a black tux while his wife stunned in her first royal gown.

Meghan was the picture of elegance in a stunning caped gown by Safiyaa, which she paired with navy pumps and a spectacular pair of chandelier earrings. In tribute to her host country, the duchess opted for a gown in the shade of Fijian blue.

Meghan's go-to black-tie beauty look was on full display - dewy, luminous skin with rosy cheeks, a smokey eye and glossy pink lips. She parted her hair in the centre and wore her sleek, shiny locks cascading over her shoulders.

"All over the world Fiji is renowned for its incredible natural beauty and hospitality," Prince Harry said in his speech. "We, as a couple, feel very lucky to be spending part of our tour as your guests." The President of Fiji also gave an address, paying an emotional tribute to the royal's late mom, Princess Diana, who he said would be "proud of the man" he has become and the happiness he's found with Meghan.

The Sussexes touched down in Fiji on Oct. 23 as they kicked off the second week of their royal tour. The couple will spend three days on the gorgeous island, making the historic Grand Pacific Hotel their home base. On arrival at Suva’s Nausori airport on a Qantas flight, the couple was greeted by some rain and winds - but also the Hon Frank Bainamara, Fiji’s Prime Minister and his wife, Maria, leader of the opposition Ro Teimumu Kepa, Alessandro Truppia, the High Commissioner’s wife and Rear Admiral Viliame Naupoto, commander of the RFMF. They also met High Commissioner Melanie Hopkins and chief of protocol Jonetani Tagivetaua. The red carpets may have been blowing in the wind, but that didn't stop the Fijian people from giving the couple an unforgettable traditional welcome!

The 37-year-old met a young girl from the chiefly island of Bau, which Her Majesty visited in 1982. It was the island home of Ratu Apensia Cakobau, who ceded the country to England in 1874. The flower girl presented Meghan with a stunning bouquet.

Meghan wore two special accessories for the occasion - a pair of pearl and diamond earrings that the Queen gifted her ahead of their first joint engagement in Cheshire, and a diamond tennis bracelet from her father-in-law Prince Charles. The royal previously wore the bracelet on the eve of her wedding while arriving at Cliveden House and at her first official royal engagement celebrating the prince's 70th birthday.

Though she wore casual clothes on the flight, Meghan dressed up for her arrival, pairing a white long-sleeved Zimmermann dress with black Tabitha Simmons pumps, a Kayu clutch and a Stephen Jones hat (which threatened to fly away in the wind!). She had her hair blown out and a beautiful bronzed glow on her skin as she stood under an umbrella.

Prince Harry and Meghan were happily reunited on the jetty at Kingfisher Bay after the dad-to-be enjoyed a day of solo engagements on Fraser Island. Though his pregnant wife opted to take some time off to rest at the luxe Kingfisher Bay resort, an insider insisted that "She is not sick or exhausted and is feeling fine, and in fact she spent some time preparing for the coming days of the tour while the Duke was out on duty."
