1. The Duke and Duchess leave Fraser Island

Harry and Meghan were spotted on their way to their second leg of the tour in Hervey Bay.

The pair had a whirlwind day in Fraser Island on Monday, with pregnant Meghan stepping out of a couple of engagements. She did join her husband for a public walkabout, wearing a stripy Reformation beach dress.

2. History repeats itself

The Duke and Duchess arrived in Fiji on Tuesday afternoon (local time) and were given a warm welcome at an official ceremony in Albert Park, Suva.

During their three day visit, Harry and Meghan are staying at the exact same hotel (the Grand Pacific Hotel) his grandmother the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh resided in, during their trip in 1953.
