Meghan Markle and Prince Harry share a sweet kiss in the stands during the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were the epitome of togetherness as they sat side by side during the opening ceremony of the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada.
Before Harry took the stage to deliver his inspiring speech at the event, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a tender kiss.
The ceremony, held on February 8 at BC Place in Vancouver, was a celebration of the athletes’ resilience and featured emotional tributes and performances from stars like Katy Perry, Nelly Furtado, Chris Martin of Coldplay, and Noah Kahan.
The moment between the couple reflects their deep commitment to shared charitable causes, particularly the Invictus Games, which Harry founded in 2014 to support injured servicemen and women. Meghan, 43, has long admired the event and its participants, and this year’s opening was no exception.
During an impromptu speech at the athlete’s welcome reception on February 7, Meghan expressed her excitement about returning to Canada and praised Harry for his dedication to the Games.
«You’ll see him throughout the week,» Meghan told the crowd.
«He’ll be at the games, probably curling with you, and cheering you on at wheelchair basketball.»
She went on to highlight how much the event and its participants mean to Harry, adding, «You are his family, just as we are his family.
Every bit of his heart has gone into making this week possible.»
With warmth and pride, Meghan introduced her husband to the crowd, calling him the «father of our very sweet, excited children who are cheering you on from California,» and emphasizing his pivotal role as the founder of the Invictus Games.
The Games marked the first public appearance of Harry and Meghan together since their Colombia tour in August.
Although they were also spotted in January volunteering with the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena, this event marked a significant moment in their ongoing partnership both personally and professionally.
Meghan’s presence underscores that while she has solo projects on the horizon, her family remains her top priority, and her support for Harry’s mission is unwavering.
One onlooker in Vancouver shared their thoughts on the couple’s united front:
«There’s been a lot of speculation about their marriage, but seeing them here together shows me there is no separation.
They truly present a unified front when it comes to causes they both care deeply about.»
