Meghan and Harry opened the Invictus Games with a very public display of affection as they shared a kiss on the stage.
On Saturday night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex kicked off the international sporting event for injured servicemen and veterans with a warm speech at the Zuiderpark stadium in Hague, the Netherlands.
First addressing over five hundred competitors was Meghan whose trip to Europe marked the first time she flew back overseas after leaving the UK and quitting her life as a royal.
The former actress told the audience of the “love and respect” she has for her husband and said she couldn’t be any prouder of him. Meghan also said Harry had spent “many late nights” preparing for the much-anticipated event.
“Now it is my distinguished honor to introduce someone who I think you’ll be excited to hear from,” she added as she introduced her husband.
“He has spent many late nights and early mornings planning for these games to make them as perfect as possible for each of you.
“I could not love and respect him more and I know many of you feel the same because he is your fellow veteran having served two tours of Afghanistan, and ten years of military service and the founder of Invictus Games and the father to our two little ones, Archie and Lili.
“Please welcome my incredible husband, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex.”
As Harry walked onto the stage, he immediately shared a kiss with his wife and smiled from ear to ear while telling her: “Thank you my love.”
After the brief PDA moment, Harry addressed the crowd and told them how his son, Archie, dreams of becoming a pilot one day and an astronaut the other.
“But I remind him no matter what you want to be when you grow up it is your character that matters most and nothing would make his mum and me prouder than to see him have the character of what we see before us today,” the prince expressed.
He went on to inspire the crowd saying: “You as a community have overcome immense challenges and you are healing and teaching the world as you go.
“You are people of resilience, and strength and of heart. You have the heart of Invictus.”
