htaccess rewrite url with and without query string

Question

I have a rewrite rule that works when accessing a direct URL that doesn't have a parameter in it.

Example URL: http://mev-hongkong.com/product-category/babies-tots/

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mev-hongkong\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^product-category/babies-tots(/.*)?$ https://mothersenvogue.com.hk/shop/all-babies-tots$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

However, I also have the same URLs that has a parameter that I also need to redirect to the same URL output. I tried manipulating the rewrite rule and added a %{QUERY_STRING} condition like the below rule but when I test it with the URL that has the parameter, the query strings are still not being stripped out.

Example url with parameter: http://mev-hongkong.com/product-category/babies-tots/?add_to_wishlist=8836

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mev-hongkong\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^add_to_wishlist=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^product-category/babies-tots(/.*)?$ https://mothersenvogue.com.hk/shop/all-babies-tots$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

What did I miss to correctly strip off the query strings?

The QSD flag does exactly this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mev-hongkong\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^product-category/babies-tots(/.*)?$ https://mothersenvogue.com.hk/shop/all-babies-tots$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE,QSD]
