Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appeared united as they attended the opening ceremony of the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada.

Before Harry stepped forward to deliver his speech, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a brief kiss, capturing a heartfelt moment during the inspiring event. The ceremony at BC Place in Vancouver on February 8 featured touching tributes to athletes and performances by Katy Perry, Nelly Furtado, Chris Martin of Coldplay, and Noah Kahan.

Their presence at the event underscored their ongoing dedication to shared charitable causes, particularly the Invictus Games. Founded by Harry in 2014, the event serves as a platform to support and honor wounded servicemen and women.

Meghan, 43, has often spoken about her admiration for the Invictus Games and its participants, and this year was no different. During an unscripted speech at a welcome reception on February 7, she expressed her excitement about returning to Canada and took a moment to acknowledge Harry’s passion for the Games.

“You will see him throughout this week,” she said, noting that he would be present at events, cheering on competitors, and even joining in on activities like curling and wheelchair basketball.

“It means so much to him,” she 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.
