All weekend, the British press was screaming about Prince Harry. One of the favorite storylines was that Donald Trump could somehow (wink, nudge) be convinced to deport Prince Harry from his mansion in Montecito, which he shares with his American wife and two American children. Well, look who turned up in Vancouver last night. Harry was apparently flying solo – the tabloids have already latched onto that – at The Grey Cup. The Grey Cup is the championship game of the Canadian Football League. The Toronto Argonauts beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Obviously, Harry flew into Vancouver to do some advance promotion for the Invictus Games, which are about three months away. Meghan and Harry slipped into British Columbia this time last year to watch a Canucks hockey game too, and Harry dropped the puck at the game. That visit was some advanced hype for Invictus too! That’s how Harry was introduced at the Grey Cup as well, as the founder of Invictus. He got an extremely positive reception. Unlike his brother, who gets booed everywhere, especially football games and every time he steps foot outside. I’m including some cool social media below!

- Vancouver, CANADA – Prince Harry makes a surprise appearance without wife Meghan ahead of the 111th Grey Cup in Vancouver, Canada, played between the CFL sides (Canadian Football League) Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts. Harry walked onto the pitch briefly before kick off. He did not make a speech and got a hug from a well wisher as he walked off the field. The half-time show for the prestigious event was provided by The Jonas Brothers.

Willie will definitely be copying this look.
Cue the rage from KP.
He is a SNACK! I love a ginger in dark green.
I’m loving this long jacket/topcoat look.
I was just thinking this. Meghan’s good taste on his frame, just perfection.
Yes! It’s a great length and a terrific look!
Yasssss. That long jacket is a lewk😍. He’s tall so he can pull it off. Meghan always makes sure that he looks dapper.
It looked so good in motion.
3/4 coat being ordered to windsor in 3.2.1…
William can’t coordinate his clothes this well, we should be safe for a little while longer. He’s definitely showing up to some football games though.
Lovely reception. I’m excited about the Invictus Games coming up!
Go Harry, ! I do how ever want to see an AI pic of Harry as a quarter Back
Just google Carson Wentz. He’s an NFL QB and Harry’s doppelgänger. There were even articles written about it.
@carty hard disagree! They are both gingers, def not doppelgangers.
Awww, what a great smile…He looks terrific in that color combo! And he’s the spitting image of Philip, it’s really unbelievable 🙂
He really is. I’ve seen the pics of them side by side. Harry has his whole face.
Good for Harry out there promoting Invictus. Looks like he had fun. All the bald one did for earthshit was hire super models to stand near. This is how it’s done global putz.
Is this man enjoying his freedom from the Cult?
Looking Fine and confident, guess he entered his era of joy also.
He did, he happily welcomed his 40th birthday. He said something to the effect of, ” I was anxious about 30, I’m excited about 40.
The man gets almost all he dreamt of; kids, a wife, a loving nest in sunny CA, freedom, million dollars rich on his own merits, and he is finally able to take his tabloid torturers to court.
He’s a great guy, and I mean that in an absolute sense. He can hang out with anyone, and he and the people he hangs out with are all completely comfortable.
He may look like Grandpa, but he has the compassion and interpersonal skills-NOT snobby and clueless and posh like William- of his mom.
#InvictusGames …and maybe he’ll bring the deep green and navy-it’s actually a classic color combo!!!
Harry in deep green!!!!! Harry in deep green ALWAYS pleaseeeeeeee
Yes!!!!! So envious of Duchess Meghan. Lol
Harry looks good. Didn’t the press tell us that everybody hated Harry?
He does🤗.. first the NFL now the CFL, I’ve been to games in both leagues always love it. Even if the rules are a little different 😉
Poor poor poor small r willy . He just can’t compete because he definitely doesn’t compare . Bet he is sitting at home going why does everyone like Harold and not me ? Why why as he throws the lamp , the remote and the cheese on toast Carole was trying to feed him to calm him down.
Should we start calling William the small k king? It’s kind of an own goal isn’t it?
People’s understanding of what went down varies the world over I assume. But people everywhere understand someone defending themselves and their family, their values. I think Harry resonates with the public so very much because he walked away from all that wealth and privilege
Lol
Because when he was vacationing everywhere with Kate, Harry was doing the work. He was everywhere touching lives.
So now workshy Willy just can’t wake up and start competing sorry working 🙄 😂
I was just happily replying @one of the Mary’s but l don’t know why my comment has gone in the wrong place
That was cute with Harry and Wen Nie! Definite rizz factor there.
I looked up the Grey Cup trophy and it looks silver to me?
Wanted to edit this and it had disappeared: another website mentioned Lord Grey.
Yes, it’s named after a Governor General;
“The Grey Cup is the championship of the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the trophy awarded to the victorious team. The trophy is named after Albert Grey, the Governor General of Canada from 1904 until 1911”.
The Grey Cup is named after Earl Grey, a former Governor General of Canada. The Governor General is appointed by the Canadian government to represent the monarch, as Canada is technically a constitutional monarchy. He donated the cup. I believe he was also a former prime minister of UK, so one of Harry’s countrymen. Nowadays, all governors general are Canadian.
Thanks ATorontoGal and Tamsin! My initial, uninformed thought was wondering if the trophy were actually the color grey…I didn’t realize that it was donated and named for the man who did so.
The Stanley cup for hockey was also provided by Lord Stanley in 1892. He was a Governor General prior to Grey. Canada was very colonialist even after 1867 so a lot of this kind of thing happened. WWI was when Canada started to forge its own identity outside of a British colony.
Nic919, Thanks for this bit of trivia as well. I have heard of the Stanley Cup (unlike the Grey one), but never followed hockey close enough to know its origins.
Harry is unbothered, focused, and is doing the work with great ease and charm, as always. And the public appreciates it. No boos, just pleasantly surprised.
The haters continue with their stupid meltdowns. I guess the brother will have his too.
He looks good.. I am excited for the Invictus games, especially the new winter sports challenges. Keeping up with there events and activities has become more difficult since deactivating all my social media accounts but I love being fed through celebitchy.
Go Harry! IG on the way💛🖤! And yeah does that not look like a man who wants to go back. At all.
Every time I see Harry or Meghan doing separate events it reminds me of how deep their relationship is. In addition, it reminds me of the confidence they have in each other to represent their family well because they each know what they have at home and that the world’s gaze is upon them. The pandemic a few years ago gave them the much needed time to solidify their young relationship.
But what’s really funny is within the royal family, couples often – more often than not – do separate events.
Making ‘separate events’ a thing was a lie trotted out only for H and M to have people question their relationship (how bad or good it is, same same). That’s falling for what they’re selling.
No one thinks twice of Edward and Sophie regularly doing separate stuff. Also when TQ and Philip were working. Anne doesn’t cart Tim around. Grown ups who travel for work don’t take their spouse. It’s actually no big deal at all. It’s a fake ‘big deal’ and doesn’t relate to the state of their relationship.
The derangers wanted harry and Meghan to divorce from the get go. They just don’t get it
Obviously, but that wasn’t my point at all.
No harold invict us is mine shrieks peg.
The tabs would love to see Harry chucked out of the country, and don’t give a about the harm it would do to Archie and Lilibet.
Good King Harry! Lovely to see him looking so fresh and stylish.
Harry and Meghsn are due to come to the Invictus Winter Games in February. The kids may go with them too.
Harry shines wherever he goes. Brings positivity to the table. Looks good. Is successful.
So glad he is spreading his happiness and peace for all the world to see.
CTV.ca will be live-streaming an appearance by Harry for IG at 12:30 pm eastern.
The two poison pups the Royal family support Pandrew & Bulliam could take a lesson from Prince Harry on decency .
king numbchuck , not my king
So first of all, I really admire this young person. He built a charity, but more than that, it was a movement in support of people who have been injured serving their country. Any nation would be proud of that if they weren’t dysfunctional. I am glad Megan and Harry have a more secure life here. Second, I did follow the Twitter links, I am on it to read, even if I don’t like it. They claimed no one cheered for him, for example. The audience LOUDLY welcomed him. There is no positivity whatsoever on that platform. I mean, a guy who wants injured veterans to get better through sports, shows up at a sporting event and gets a lot of thanks? What a surprise.
