The Duke of Sussex has shared one of his most unforgettable moments from the Invictus Games, recalling a time when he felt a deep sense of protection over Meghan Markle while she was pregnant.
Speaking to Us Weekly at this year’s event in Vancouver, Harry looked back on a standout memory from the 2018 Invictus Games in Sydney, when Meghan was expecting their first child, Archie.
“There are so many special memories, but I’ll never forget the bear hug I received from Rob out on Sydney Harbor — and my genuine concern that he might try the same with my wife, who was pregnant at the time!” he shared, reflecting on the experience.
The 2018 games held special significance for the couple, as they had just announced Meghan’s pregnancy days before the event. Meghan has been a longtime supporter of the Games, with Harry noting, “My wife has been part of this community since shortly after the Orlando Games in 2016 and has loved every minute of it.”
Though Meghan was only able to attend part of this year’s event before returning home to their two children, Harry expressed appreciation for her continued support, especially her recent Instagram tribute.
“The Instagram shoutout was very sweet and much appreciated!” he said.
Founded by Harry in 2014, the Invictus Games provide a platform for wounded, injured, and sick service members and veterans to compete. The next event is set to take place in Birmingham, U.K., in 2027.
