Harry is comforted by Meghan as he takes his seat for the start of the Invictus Games

The Invictus Games mean a lot to Harry, who founded them in a bid to aid the rehabilitation of injured or sick military personnel and veterans from across the globe, by giving them the challenge of competing in sporting events similar to the Paralympics.

After first being held in London in 2014, it was at the Games that he and Meghan chose to make their first public appearance as a couple when it was held in Toronto, Canada, in 2017. The Games in The Hague were originally due to take place in 2020 but were postponed because of the pandemic.

Yesterday the duke and duchess made their first public appearance together in Europe since Megxit yesterday as they broke cover at the Invictus Games – with a Netflix film crew in tow – after their secret detour to Windsor to meet the Queen and Prince Charles.

Pictures showed the Netflix film crew standing apart from the dozens of photographers covering Harry and Meghan’s arrival at the Zuiderpark in The Hague.

The couple have signed a multi-million pound deal with the streaming giant, and a documentary about the Games – entitled Heart of Invictus – will be the first documentary series to be co-produced by Netflix with the Duke and Duches’s own company, Archewell Productions.
