After flying in from Fiji on 25 October, the royal couple will then be granted a private audience with King Tupou VI and Queen Nanasipauʻu followed by an official reception and dinner at Consular House.

PACNEWS reports they will visit Prime Minister 'Akilisi Pōhiva the following day before attending an exhibition of Tongan handicrafts and products at the Fa'ōnelua Centre.

After dedicating two forest reserves at Tupou College the couple will then fly to Sydney.

Kensington Palace says the 76 date tour will focus on youth leadership, environmental and conservation projects and the recovery and rehabilitation of servicemen and women.
