Emerging after a quiet spell, Prince Harry has been spotted in his first appearance in weeks, engaging with NATO officials.
The Duke of Sussex connected via video link on October 31 to discuss the pivotal role of the Invictus Games, an organisation dedicated to aiding injured and unwell veterans and military personnel.
Although Meghan Markle wasn't present for this session, observant supporters noticed a sentimental touch in the background—a photograph from their May 2018 wedding day, with Harry in his military attire and Meghan in her bridal gown, captured during their post-ceremony procession through London.

This subtle homage to Meghan amidst their trend of solo public engagements has fuelled rumours that they may be crafting a fresh public relations direction with their team. Despite not being there in person for the New York meeting, representatives from the Invictus Games Foundation ensured their presence was noted.
The timing also coincides with the one-year anniversary of the release of 'Heart of Invictus,' a Netflix documentary from 2023 spotlighting Harry's work with the foundation. During the meeting, Harry expressed his convictions about the foundation's efforts, saying: "I believe the work of the Invictus Games Foundation to be very important - and it strikes at the heart of our shared values as military personnel."
Looking forward, February 2024 saw Harry and Meghan at the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort, rallying competitors ahead of the upcoming 2025 'One Year to Go' event for the Invictus Games.
The winter Invictus Games 2025 are set to welcome around 550 competitors from up to 25 nations, featuring events like sitting volleyball, swimming, and wheelchair basketball. It has been announced that winter sports such as alpine skiing, snowboarding, and wheelchair curling will make their debut in the competition.
Express.co.uk shares news that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are organising a trip for their young ones, Archie and Lilibet, to be present at the opening ceremony at BC Place Vancouver come February.
