Meghan Markle will attend Invictus Games for first official trip with Prince Harry since leaving Royal Family

Meghan Markle will attend the Invictus Games for her first official trip with Prince Harry since leaving the Royal Family.

Meghan and Harry will attend the event in the The Hague this weekend and will be followed by a Netflix documentary crew during the visit.

Prince Harry created the games, which are similar to the Paralympics, to help in the rehabilitation of injured or sick military personnel and veterans around the world.

The event is where Meghan and Harry made their first public appearance together in September 2017.

The couple sat around 18 seats apart at their first joint event during the opening ceremony in Toronto, Canada, before walking hand in hand the next day at the wheelchair tennis.

Team UK competitors would also like two-year-old Archie and nine-month-old Lili, at the Games but they are not expected.

Daniel O'Connor, 31, from Hereford, is competing in archery and indoor rowing.

He said: "He has in his mind the things he wants to achieve in his life, the things he'd like to see change, and he tries to work towards them.

"And if everyone had that attitude you can imagine how different the world would be."

He said of Meghan: "So she has shown a continued support of the Games.

"I think she's doing a great job. I would love to see her at the Games.

"If she is, great, and I hope they bring the kids as well so they've got the whole family there."

Lucy Holt, 29, from Lincoln, who is competing in powerlifting, indoor rowing, wheelchair basketball and athletics, said: "I think it's a great way to kind of highlight to his family what he has achieved and what he is still achieving."

Team UK will compete in nine sports at the Invictus Games: athletics, archery, wheelchair basketball, cycling, powerlifting, indoor rowing, wheelchair rugby, swimming and sitting volleyball.
