But as she stepped off the plane she was spotted sporting gifts from the Queen and Prince Phillip.

She stunned in a white dress by Australian designer, Zimmerman, which she paired with some earrings and a bracelet gifted to her by her grandmother and grandfather-in-law.

As they landed on the tar mac, Meghan had to hold on to her hat as strong winds threatened to snatch it along with the red carpet rolled out for them.

Harry and Meghan were greeted by the Prime Minister of Fiji, Hon Frank Bainamara, and his wife Maria and many locals came out to greet them as they travelled through the island.

They are visiting on behalf of the Queen who first visited Fiji in 1953 with her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
