Meghan Markle shows off growing baby bump in chic blue shirt dress in Tonga

Meghan Markle, 37, is currently in the midst of her first royal tour, having visited Australia, Fiji and now Tonga.

Today, the pregnant Duchess and Prince Harry visited a local Tonga college for day 11 of their 16-day tour.

It seemed to be an enjoyable day, with the mother-to-be spotted crying with laughter and the couple cooing over animals.

For the more relaxed day out, Meghan wore a chic, minimalistic blue shirt dress, highlighting her growing bump.

The dress appeared to be made of linen or soft cotton, perfect for the hot Tonga weather.

Coming to below her knees, the elegant dress featured button detailing and long sleeves, which the Duchess rolled up.

Designed by Veronica Beard, Meghan has been seen in the $595 (£464) “Cary Dress” before, which is unsurprisingly now almost sold out online.

Leaving a few top buttons open, she showed off a delicate gold and precious stone necklace.

The laid-back dress was tied at the waist, accentuating Meghan’s growing baby bump.

Matching the striking blue dress, the 37-year-old finished off the look with a pair of baby blue pointed-toe heels with ankle straps.

She wore her glossy brunette hair in a sleek low ponytail, slicked back and parted in the middle, with no hairs left stray.

Her makeup enhanced her glowing skin and natural freckles, with just a hint of foundation and some dewy pink highlighter.

Adding a touch of glamour, she also sported a sultry, dark smokey eye and glossy, nude lip. –

During the day, Meghan was spotted crying with laughter as she sat on the stage at the college.

Meghan and Harry also admired a small animal, crouching down to its eye level to take a peak inside its cage.
