Meghan's appearance comes one day after she and Harry were seen paying a secret visit to Queen Elizabeth II, whom they had not met with in more than two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

BAZAAR.com previously reported Meghan would be joining Harry at the games this year, marking their first joint visit to Europe since stepping back from their working royal roles in 2020.

The Invictus Games, of which the Duke of Sussex is the founder, started on April 16, and runs through April 22. The sporting event provides a chance for sick or injured military personnel and veterans to compete.

This is the fifth year the games have taken place. The event will see teams from 20 countries—including Ukraine, South Korea, Estonia, Canada, Australia, Poland, Iraq, and the United States—compete in events such as athletics, archery, wheelchair basketball, cycling, powerlifting, swimming, sitting volleyball, and indoor rowing. The Netherlands was originally due to host the games in 2020, but the event had to be delayed due to the pandemic.

Harry and Meghan made their first public appearance as a couple at the Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada, in 2017, and in 2018, they attended the games in Sydney, Australia.
