The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had a busy first year of marriage. After a fairytale wedding which nearly two billion people worldwide tuned in to watch, the pair dove straight into their royal duties. Between them they’ve lent their substantial star power to charities supporting mental health, Grenfell survivors and the arts, to name a few. On the first day of their royal tour to visit to Australia, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga, and New Zealand, they revealed to the world that Meghan was pregnant with their first child. Nine months of feverous bump-watching ensued, and the world got to meet Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, just weeks before their first anniversary.

The Duchess and Duke of Sussex landed in Tonga on Day 10 of their Autumn Tour. The were welcomed by Princess Angelika Latufuipeka.
