Prince Harry told People just how important it was to him to be at the Invictus Games with Meghan Markle, saying, “I had always wanted to share these incredible moments with someone special, and to have Meg by my side means everything.” He also reflected upon how much has changed since the couple had made their Invictus Games debut back in Toronto; then they were dating, and now they’re married with two kids and living in California.
Their body language while Meghan was there — she’s since gone back to California — also confirmed the couple’s strong bond. They shared smiles and a kiss at the opening ceremony, and they were frequently seen holding hands, according to Marie Claire.
And while the Invictus Games hold a special place in the hearts of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they are also important to the competitors. One American athlete who had been blinded on a training mission told People, “These games are what saved my life. I’m just so appreciative.”
