Meghan Markle has finally joined Prince Harry at the 2023 Invictus Games in Dusseldorf - and it has certainly been an eventful 24 hours for the duchess who gave an off-the-cuff speech at an event as she joined her husband
After flying solo for the first few days of the Invictus Games, Prince Harry has finally been reunited with Meghan Markle.
Secret UK stopover Meghan began her long journey to Germany at LAX Airport on Monday evening, where she boarded a British Airways flight that brought her to London. It was the first time she had returned to the UK since the death of the late Queen - but left just 90 minutes later after catching a connecting flight to Dusseldorf.
Her arrival came on the same day Harry let his hair down at the Invictus Games by showing off his dance moves with Strictly star JJ Chalmers at a wheelchair basketball match between the UK and Ukraine. The two men were seen in fits of giggles as they moved side to side in time with the music during the very lively match at the games. The crowd seemed delighted and also joined in with the dance moves.
It later emerged that Meghan actually got ready for the event in just an hour and did her own hair and make-up - something she will be doing for the rest of the trip as she has travelled without any stylists. Her go-to make-up artist Daniel Martin, who did her make-up on her wedding day, is on holiday in Mexico while her hairdresser George Northwood is also unavailable due to prior engagements.
Archie and Lilibet's treat Meghan also spoke of the importance of family during the event and that she hoped to bring children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the games one day. "Have the best time," she said. "We are going to be cheering for you and we can't wait to be able to bring our kids also so they can experience just how amazing this is."
