The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were immersed in Fijian culture on the second day of their visit to the country.

As Meghan got hands-on helping to make a traditional breakfast dish before a quick visit to a local market, Harry headed to the Colo-I-Suva Forest Reserve and planted an indigenous Dakua tree.

The duke sported a blue Bula shirt for the occasion, while Meghan donned a pink maxi-dress by Figue.
