The event was to mark the opening of the Pacific Art exhibition, Oceania, featuring some 200 artefacts from Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia – a huge ocean area encompassing New Guinea, Easter Island, Hawaii and New Zealand.
The duchess could barely keep a straight face as she took part in a Hongi greeting (nose rubbing) with New Zealand’s high commissioner, Sir Jerry Mateparae and his wife, Janine.
For the event, Meghan Markle donned a Givenchy dress with a thigh-high slit, a pair of black stilettoes. She finished the outfit with a stylish Givenchy purse.
