Watch again: Harry and Meghan meet Invictus Games athletes in Vancouver

Watch live as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex meet Invictus Games athletes and military veterans on Friday 16 February.
Harry and Meghan are in Vancouver as part of "One Year to Go" events for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.
They are expected to make remarks during their appearance on Friday.
Harry has already been seen attempting sit-skiing as he joined Invictus Games competitors training in Canada to mark a year until the global sporting event.
The couple met athletes at the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort in British Columbia on Wednesday and they plan to visit more competitors at the host locations for the 2025 competition.
Harry founded the Paralympic-style sporting competition in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel and veterans to aid their recovery.
At the Games next year around 550 competitors from up to 25 nations will compete in indoor adaptive events like sitting volleyball, swimming and wheelchair basketball.
For the first time winter sports like alpine skiing, snowboarding and wheelchair curling will be on the schedule.

Indeed. Service is really UNIVERSAL. Thanks

Why are we always seeing Harry playing the games and not the vets? ridiculous

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

He's trying to prove he's 'one of the boys' and they've finally listened to the criticism that all they do is word-salad speeches and Meghans fashion show!!! About time to do a bit more... now they just have to cover their own expenses and stop sucking all the money out and leave it for the Veterans!!!

[@agnesrogers6554]

If she flogs enough gear she gets it free or has to give it back, now that she can afford not to wear the same thing twice, that’s why it is never altered. She will never have a fibgure like Catherine'

[@MISt-BStrng7]

I’m thankful for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their continued support for our military service people everywhere. Regardless of the elements they face, I’m thankful for their efforts to encourage our vets everywhere who have given much for their countries. I am happy to see the Duchess support for her husband’s causes. I’m thankful for every positive comment in support for these events. Wishing all well everywhere. ~a vet family member

[@sarahrose4126]

I'm confused as to why they quit the Royal Family to allegedly " spend more time with their kids and be less formal than the RF expected them to be with their children ", yet we almost never see them out and about with " their " children. Where are these mysterious children they quit Royal life for ? Why don't they ever allow " their " children to travel with them as one would expect " less stuffy ", and " down to earth " parents would ? We see endless amounts of Williams and Catherine's children. Where are H and M's mystery kids ?

[@xenaordanel6383]

Every good parents protect their Kids from derangers and pedophile. Kids has to be protected on cameras.

[@BeautifullyMixed72]

Because they don't want baby haters like you ridiculing their Royal children.

[@dianaweir5414]

Williams children are taxpayers funded! Taxpayers need to see how there money are being spent!!.

[@gattyugwu9450]

Correction please! Stop turning things upside down.They were forced to leave the RF because of the excessive bullying, death threats, Hostilities, smears propagandas with falsehoods, damned if they do or don’t, being treated differently, someone else taking the credit for the good works they put in, excessive intrusion and invading their privacy with even with helicopters to disrupt them and their son Archie’s sleep and peace, even to the extent of making their son,Archie’s life hell. Extreme cruelty and bullying with smear campaigns against them on the tabloids though they were innocent even when Meghan was pregnant with Archie. Lack of empathy, compassion and protection of them by their family which was the RF.( one of their minions Dan Wooton said that the smear campaigns were sponsored by the RF). Racism even to their son Archie then.(calling him a chimpanzee, though he doesn’t look like one), bullying from Kate and William who paid their minions to smear them in the tabloids, thereby creating an unbearable environment for them. Your ‘supposed’ confusion is laughable because you are spinning a false narrative.They barely escaped to save their lives, sanity mental health and prevent their children from being raised in a hostile environment. I support their resolute resolve to protect and raise their children in a great environment and Meghan’s mom and their nannies are doing great there when H&M aren’t around. (They have to work for their living bcos they are not milking the taxpayers money. I support Meghan who said “ why should she expose her child or children to the same people who maligned and abused her”(she said that when they accused her of allowing Bishop Desmond Tutu to see, carry and play with baby Archie without showing him to the British media first) Are you trying to tell us that the Photo taken with the royal family when Archie was born was false? The photo was on the daily newspapers which featured the late Queen, Prince Phillip,Princess Diana’s sisters,Meghan’s mother,Prince Harry,William and Kate with baby Archie was an illusion? We have seen Archie and LilibetD and they are adorable and beautiful. We love them to bits and we love how Harry and Meghan are protecting them from evil eyes especially when the British media says they are gonna have fun in trolling them when they’re grown up;; but they wouldn’t dare bcos Britain would have sanitised the British journalists from rogue journalists.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

​@@xenaordanel6383that's not the reason and you know it.... they keep them hidden away so they can merch photos later, when they have nothing left to sell. And since H&M are building such a public life, their kids will get photographed where they go and what they do and it will freak them out.... William and Catherine are doing a much better job, supporting and caring for their kids, as they gradually get them used to the public who will always be around them, interested in their lives....and so they will grow up used to it

Like, if you actually watched this, Michael Buble actually stepped in to COVER his wife from Meghan. Literally. Also, what’s with MM’s GLOVES! No one else wore gloves! Is she trying to make a fashion trend? FAIL!

[@janesimmons9330]

She doesn't want to touch them people...something might rub off on her? Like loyalty, honesty, compassion, kindness, love...ect...

[@suzannemartin4201]

Ha ha ha ha I know I shouldn't reply to this but I'll make a try. What you saw was obviously some cute PDA between Michael and his wife. I also suspect she was a little cold. And if you look carefully, they're talking and smiling with Meghan at the same time. Little note: both couples went to dinner together on Friday night. About gloves: very good idea to wear a pair when you go to a curling venue... I've been there... it's cold and damp near the ice. Meghan is not the only one wearing gloves; look carefully !!! I'm surprised though that not more people wore gloves... I can guarantee you many of them regretted it... not good for the skin... they probably had to put some hand cream before going to bed. I'll give it to you that Meghan chose a "chic" look (yet simple); but she was there as a spectator not a participant. For the outdoors events, she dressed more like "everyday casual". And anyway I really like that she dresses with "style". I also often like what the Princess of Wales wears at her public events ... especially when she opts for modern/casual/chic... On another subject... I hope you watched the whole video right up till the end. A charming moment was when the new CEO Scott Moore teased Harry a little bit during his speech; it was fun. I couldn't help thinking with both laughter and sadness about the amount of disinformation this week on the Internet concerning the relation between the Invictus foundation and Prince Harry ... saying that the CEO of Invictus had banned Harry from everything. Those youtube channels anti-Sussex are something else my goodness !! Jaw-dropping disinformation. Hidden agendas by powerful groups I suspect. But let's not go there. Last note: joking aside, I really hope you were moved by the speeches, especially the one by the woman who suffers from PTSD, and the one by Harry. The Invictus Games are a wonderful, constructive event. It's about friendship, resilience, love, hope. May those values inspire you. Peace.

​@xenaordanel6383 jealousy has nothing to do with it lol, she's lovely with her plastic surgery ... just saying she's been less than gracious and tried to be the second princess, by being a victim and nothing was ever done to Meghan, and Diana actually was a victim , used for whatever , married a prince that was in love with a different girl but not Diana ,and didn't want to be imbound by the rules of a family that she just was used for whatever ..then the accident..she isn't even close to Princess Diana, then megan she's a narcissist .. but yes look how lovely she is , she thinks she's better than everyone cause she married a prince , but look she's lovely , gotta say this is the most gracious ,thing I've seen her do.
