Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were a picture of unity in the stands during the opening ceremony of the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a kiss before Harry stepped away to deliver his speech at the inspiring event, which featured heartfelt tributes to athletes and performances from Katy Perry, Nelly Furtado, Chris Martin of Coldplay and Noah Kahan.

The sweet moment at BC Place in Vancouver on Feb. 8 comes after the couple’s ongoing commitment to their shared charitable initiatives, including the Invictus Games, a global event Harry founded in 2014 to support wounded servicemen and women.

Meghan, 43, has frequently expressed admiration for the event and its participants, and this year’s ceremony was no exception. In an unscripted speech at a welcome reception for athletes and their friends and families on Feb. 7, Meghan shared her joy about her return to Canada before honoring her husband, Harry, 40.
You will see him throughout this week,” Meghan told the crowd. “You will see him at the games, you will see him probably curling with you and cheering you on at wheelchair basketball.”

“It means so much to him,” Meghan continued. “You are his family, just as we are his family. And I hope you recognize how much of his heart he has poured into every single beat that has gotten all of you to this week that is going to be spectacular.

“I need you to know that, I need you to know how much it means to him and how much each of you mean to him. It is my entire pleasure and complete honor to introduce to the stage my husband, the father of our very sweet, excited children who are cheering you on from California, Prince Harry, founder of the Invictus Games, the Duke of Sussex.”
