Here are some photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Tuesday at the Invictus Games. They were in Whistler for much of the day, checking out all of the adaptive winter sports and having a good time with the competitors. Harry even did a medal presentation, I think. Fashion notes: Meghan wore an Aritzia puffer coat, a Moncler knit cap, Sorel boots and a really cute cream tunic sweater and I don’t have an ID on it, sadly. I’m also sad that Tuesday was Meghan’s last day at Invictus!
The Duchess of Sussex is due to leave Canada without her husband, Prince Harry, today [Tuesday]. Meghan, 43, has spent five days watching the action at the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler, attending various events at the tournament, which champions injured servicemen and women.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex, 40, is expected to remain at the Games until the closing ceremony on Sunday.
A source close to Invictus said: “This was always planned. Meghan is going home to be with her children. Meghan left the games in Dusseldorf early after five days to go home. This is Prince Harry’s event and she is there to support him but this was planned.”
Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, did not join their parents on the trip and have remained at the family’s home in Montecito.
She did this at The Hague games too – she came for the first half and left mid-week. At the Dusseldorf games, she arrived several days into the games and stayed for the closing ceremony. A lot of us were hoping that, given her connection to Canada, she would stay for the whole week. But I think this is correct, that she always planned to leave mid-week and go home to the kids.
Meghan also needs some time to recover from her bravery at the games. Meghan was peer-pressured into trying snow-tubing and she screamed all the way down while Harry laughed!
Reluctantly, Meghan tried tubing & screamed all the way down the slope.🤣😂😅😂#InvictusGames2025 pic.twitter.com/YYRGz9n4sg

“I really don’t wanna do it” Hilarious 😂 but adorable. I love meg 😂 “feet up, feet up” 😂 i love Californians in cold weather.
Loved this video.. I can’t wait for her show, it’s going to be amazing she is such a wonderful person and I can’t wait to get to know the real Meghan even better.
That looked like a lot of fun having gone tubing on snow myself but I’m sure it was a bit scary for someone not used to doing snow activities. I was born and raised in Vermont so sledding/tubing was always on my agenda of things to do when not in school. Glad she had time at the games with Harry but now home to her children.
I’m glad she tried it even though she was scared!
Pro tip for next run: Gotta take a running start with your tube though, plop down belly down, to get more momentum & speed to get to the end of the run (and beyond! 😃)
I went snow tubing or sledding every single day after school. We left our sleds at the end of the driveway so when we got off the bus we rode our sleds all the way home, through the luge carved into the massive snow piles our dad made on our ranch. When I was small enough those little plastic saucers were ELITE! Great memories! Thanks Dad!!!
I grew up in an area known for its winters, think sledding, skating, hockey, snowmobiling, skiing, snowboarding, ice fishing, etc.
When the snow sadly melted at winter’s end, we used cardboard as sleds on our fave, now grass-covered toboggan runs. No helmets, no seat belts, gosh, the stuff we did! The places we rode our bikes to. Mind, our parents shoved us out the door in the morning telling us to be home when it got dark. No electric anything, no cell phones, just a band of neighborhood kids running free…does that even happen anymore. Do kids today even know how to climb a tree, play road hockey, British Bulldog or Red Rover?
But no helmet??
No one ever heard of helmets back in my day 😅
👍 to mentioning helmets!
Poor Meghan–this was caught on video for posterity.
When we found out the children weren’t with them I suspected that Meghan wasn’t going to be there for the whole week. I thought she would come back for the closing ceremony but it doesn’t seem that’s going to happen. It’s been a good week so far and I’ve enjoyed Meghan’s videos and photos on Instagram.
I figured the same thing, that she would leave midweek.
Same, this is how they roll at Invictus Games, and it works perfectly, IMO, for all of the people that want to screech that Meghan makes everything about her. Sure she does, that’s why she only stays for a few days, then goes home to take care of their kids while Harry plays with all of the veterans. I don’t expect her to stay for the entire time until their kids reach an age where Harry and Meghan are comfortable with them being in public, which will likely be never. Good job, royals and rota, those kids are going to be underground forever!
Meghan’s screaming in terror and delight mixed with Harry’s cackling was absolutely adorable! What a delightful week to this has been a bright spot on a bleak 3 weeks.
Right? This was such a little glimmer of joy, I can’t explain it. Thank you Meghan and Harry!
Yes it was so cute hearing his cackle
Poor Meghan, shrieking all the way down, and Harry being a naughty chuckler – too cute.
She is me. That video was the cutest!
She’s me too, I would be screaming my head off (and thinking about Sonny Bono!).
That is so cute! First of snow tubling is so fun and i’m kind of jealous of her because i haven’t been in years.
Secondly, her winter style is very good. I know because she lived in Toronto for years, she got used to dressing for cold(though it isn’t that cold here compared to most parts of Canada) but she really learned to layer.
I loved that she highlighted so many good Canadian outwear brands! I’ve always felt strongly, that winter outwear is something we are one of the best in the world at. Like we have so many incredible brands. I wish she could have stayed the whole week and worn a different coat every day to highlight more brands, Noize one day, Kanuck the next but she needed to get home to her babies.
Her winter style is so good. And yes I love the way she repped the Canadian coats. She did those brands proud.
So cute. I’d be screaming the whole way down, too!
I genuinely like this woman. . I too was hoping Meghan was going to stay until the end. I understand though . Her babies miss her too. Love you Meghan. Thank you for these wonderful 5 days of fun.
Yes Joan, she is very likeable and you can see why Harry chose her above his stuffy family .
Despite the ongoing abuse they get I bet they have a wonderful life together with their children and close friends and Meghans mum .
Bless them all .
OMG, her screams were still audible even from that far 😭😭 I am like Meghan and it is a no for me every time under any circumstances.
Watching Meghan and listening to Harry’s giggles was one of the highlights, seeing how he always lovingly trolls her. See also “and now she will sing”
It gave us a glimpse into the dynamics of their relationship, which is decidedly very much not *M keeps H locked up, and make all his friends stay away*.
I will miss these daily chapters of his *wife* and her *husband* having so much fun together, especially as it exposed the Derangers and associated rota 🐀🐀🐀 as envious, jealous, resentful screeching harpies (also applicable to the misogynoir Derangers of the male part of that group)
Derangers and bots are berserk over this trip and it’s the harry should step down talk as,usual.
They say the same thing every Games since he left the UK we need to learn to ignore.
@Tessa … And let’s not forget the “Harry didn’t create the Invictus Games! Charles, William, and Kate created Invictus and gave it to dim Harry so he’d have something to do and to keep him out of trouble!” rant going on as well.
At least this year we didn’t hear the “They should give the Invictus Games to William!” rant.
I am so glad to be off of Twitter and Meta platforms so I have seen nothing from any of those hate accounts. I did sign up for Bluesky and it’s a lot less hostile it’s been refreshing..
Me too. I have been so absorbed in the games since I am a Volunteer as a Nation’s Liaison . I got the opportunity to see both of them up-close a few times. And I got the Prince Harry selfie!! It has solidified my perception of the British media. They know nothing about Harry and Meghan. But above all I have got to understand the impact of the Invictus games on the wounded soldiers. Looking forward to the next 3 days.
She did good! She didn’t crash into the walls and she had me laughing at her screams reverberating all the way down that slide. That looks like so much fun. At this point in our tumultuous times, I think she and Harry are our greatest ambassadors to Canada.
I get that she doesnt want tp be away from them the whole werk. And I hope she’s taling the shirts the kids were gifted from Nigeria!
And I hope that Archie&Lili can be part of the Invictus Family in the future. I thought Archie asking about landmines and that leading them to eatch Diana’s work was so wonderful
Meghan has said that she looks forward to the children coming to Invictus in the future.
I am thinking that will be London. Thank heavens the US did not win the bid for it since Trump is now in power.
It is a shame she had to leave because now all the looney tunes on X and Tiktok are spreading rumors that she was kicked out.
Loonies are going to loony. These people sit in front of their computers all day spewing hate. They have done this for years. They are not worthy of anyone’s attention. Let them stew in their misery
You know what? People with sanity and wisdom, see through the Deranger 🐂💩.
They’re gonna spew nonsense into the void all the time. The only ones they really attract to the crap they spew are fellow 💩 eaters who are addicted to the toxicity.
So, let them claim false reasons for this sweet lady leaving early. I’m sure Archie and Lilibet’s joy to receive hugs from Mama make it worthwhile to leave early AND I bet Harry shares in that joy. after all this man adores his family – his REAL family – IN CALIFORNIA!
It’s sad that the haters exist but what they say is irrelevant. Not just because it’s coming from people who know nothing about this couple or IG but also because what they say makes no sense. Harry is the founder of IG, so he makes the final decisions on what happens with his games. Canada has been extremely welcoming to both of them and all of the IG servicemen and women and families. These haters say things and reveal how stupid they are every time, because who exactly do they think has the authority or the desire to kick Meghan out of IG and Canada, and actually be successful at it? The dreams of these deranged people never cease to amaze me and make me laugh.
And the mantra by bots she was told to stay away. As if
And if she had stayed then the mantra by the bots and trolls would be “She’s overshadowing and what about the veterans!!!” Ignore those lunatics.
Normal people don’t believe a word they say. They are just disgusting , miserable trolls that have never experienced love or happiness. I take comfort in knowing that their lives are sad.
The comments statements are just super offensive and there is no moderation. I don’t know if DM does anything if people complain
I’m glad she is living her life and seems to be doing a good job of tuning out the haters.
If she stayed the whole time they would say she forced herself into events. If she had arrived late they would say its a sign of divorce. etc.
She is doing what works for her and Harry and their family and their lives and everyone else can just STFU.
No one normal believes that because it’s so ridiculous. Just ignore it.
I thought she was very brave because, as others on Twitter and Instagram pointed out, she doesn’t really like heights and there’s a brief clip in the “Harry and Meghan” documentary where she’s sliding down a pretty steep slope on her butt with Harry commenting “she likes going up but not coming down”
Like myself, Meghan is not a sporty person and taking part can be a real challenge especially when you have a partner who is so into and incredibly gifted in that area. Harry’s joy was delightful lol.
Our duchess is a warrior because I had a panic attack just watching! I used to love things like that, then ten years ago I went on a sheer drop inner tube ride at a water park with my sons. I had to leave after. I panicked and cried. Y’all are brave!
I so enjoy Harry’s laugh, it really tickles my funny bone. And this was really funny to watch. I kept thinking, it’s OK Meghan, you know that Harry wouldn’t push you into doing something that was really going to hurt you, his baby love!
Are we sure that she left? Will miss seeing them together in all their loved upness.❤️❤️
Their interactions have been a treat for all of us fans and supporters of theirs. They give so much to try and make these games memorable and healing for the wounded servicemen and women, so them being relaxed and happy during these games makes it even more special to see moments like these. I’m similar to Meghan and would have screamed the whole ride down the slope. My spouse is never afraid to try anything so he would have been Harry encouraging me to try and laughing at my screams all the way down.
OMG that hill is steep!!!
Yikes, I do not like heights at all. My screams would not be charming and pretty and I’d end up sliding face down the whole way. And my now ex would be shaking his head scornfully at my remains at the bottom of the hill (which is why he’s my ex).
But it’s lovely to dream with H&M.
@Eurydice — LOL same. I’m convinced I would have flipped that tube in 3 seconds and slid face down the whole way.
This was so cute. Meghan fr did not want to go down that hill. Harry’s laugh and her screams! I’m sad she’s leaving but I’m sure she’ll be happy with the kids. And I bet Harry goes into some bts work meetings for Invictus. He’s in such protector and proud husband mode when she’s there. It’s v v sweet.
I hate anything like sledding, skiing, tubing – anything where I am going fast and don’t feel like I have control. I can do water slides in a tube bc I feel like that slows me down but don’t ask me to do the big ones where you just slide without a tube.
so NOPE would not have done that, lol. I wish we could share pictures on here bc then I could show you all the ice slide in Hyde Park this winter that I refused to do. I think it was 1/10 of what M did haha.
Good for Meghan because that would not have been me, lol. We have a winter festival here and there is a little tubing slide and I wouldn’t even go on that one. Call me chicken, I don’t mind. I hope the veterans and their families enjoy the rest of the games, everything looks wonderful. Great job Harry and Invictus team!!
Really?!
Do you ski or snowboard?
🏂🏾💨❄️
She’s a good sport. I would have said “hell no”.
These two belong together forever. I love their love for each other and the joy they bring out together . I saw a video someone posted for
Micheal. B of Harry playing with Meghan fingers in the car . He loves her out loud and it makes my heart so happy for both of them
Saw that too. And ditto.
They are just adorable. And so happy in each other’s company.
No wonder the derangers, who clearly hate their own miserable lives, can’t stand them.
Two hour flight back to Santa Barbara for the kids. Will probably fly back this weekend.
Adorable! Meghan was smiling at the bottom of the hill, feet up and all so maybe this was her moment of overcoming one of her fears. After all, she was at Invictus.
I believe Harry is a keen skier and skiing is one of the things they can’t enjoy together as Meghan doesn’t ski apparently because she has a fear of heights. However, she doesn’t seem to have any fear of climbing, it’s just getting down it seems. Maybe she’ll learn to ski with her children. Maybe Harry is working on it! Harry is a really high-pitched giggle that you can easily pick out. His giggling throughout the whole thing was so cute.
Oh no they’ll be apart for Valentine’s Day so that means they are about to divorce says Fail for the trillioneth time! In the meantime Will has Big Suze on speed dial to blow off some steam as he’s been working like a navvy recently. The Fail fancies fillies like Rose and Big Suze to entertain our future merry monarch because they are blood blooded and such good sports.
Good for Meghan overcoming her inhibitions! Was super impressed watching the IG Skeleton Finals a day ago, hearing about all the service people. Many competitors had no experience with snow and ice. And yet they were climbing on that skinny sled and rocketing down that icy bobsled track despite the fear.
Wonderful, such an inspiration to the world. KKKate would never do something like this she is so unbelievably dull. I just love how Queen Meg gets stuck in. Look and learn KKKate
