Counting down. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry looked cozy while at the Invictus Games’ One Year to Go event in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex walked the red carpet while holding hands on Tuesday, September 6. Harry, 37, and Meghan, 41, rocked business casual looks for the event, with harry in a gray linen suit and button down shirt with an open collar.
The former Suits actress paid no mind to old-fashioned rules about avoiding wearing colors after labor day. She donned white halter tank top with tan wide-leg pants, which featured a matching belt. She kept accessories simple with white stiletto heels, a gold bracelet with her watch and diamond stud earrings.
The Invictus Games also marked a major moment in Prince Harry and Meghan’s romance. The 2017 Toronto Games were the couples’ first public outing.
“There is nowhere you can feel more embraced and supported than with the Invictus family,” he told People of the Games on Tuesday. “The Toronto Games were our first time out and about publicly in an official way. We were dating at the time, so it was a lot to take in, but fortunately, we were with the perfect community for that.”
He continued, “Now, five years later, here we are in The Hague at the fifth Invictus Games, as parents of two, and living in the U.S. I had always wanted to share these incredible moments with someone special, and to have Meg by my side means everything.”
The couple was greeted by the Düsseldorf mayor, Stephan Keller, at City Hall and hundreds of cheering fans, the Associated Press reports. The German city is set to host the 2023 Invictus Games at Merkus Spiel arena.
