Harry und Meghan besuchen Hand in Hand Invictus Games

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan visited a competition at the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf for injured soldiers. They were seen holding hands. The program included a wheelchair basketball match between Ukraine and Australia. The couple sat among fans from both teams and cheered during the game, which the Ukrainians won 8 to 6. Australian fans took the opportunity to take a souvenir photo with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Prince Harry, who served as an officer in the British Army in Afghanistan, initiated the Invictus Games after encountering severely injured individuals. The son of King Charles III, along with the also present Federal Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius (SPD), spoke to the participants of the sports festival and the numerous spectators during the opening event in Düsseldorf over the weekend.

Meghan reiste am Dienstag an und nahm bereits an einem Abendtermin teil. Harry wird während des Sportfestivals am Freitag 39 Jahre alt.

The Invictus Games will conclude on Saturday with a closing event, which will be attended by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Over 500 participants from 21 countries are competing in one or more of the ten disciplines. Additionally, more than 1000 family members and caregivers have traveled to the week-long sports festival. This is the first time the event is taking place in Germany.
