Meghan Markle will be at the Invictus Games. HOLA! USA can confirm that the Duchess of Sussex will be joining her husband Prince Harry in Canada for the 2025 sporting competition.
The mom of two will be on hand to uplift her husband—who founded the Invictus Games back in 2014—as well as the competitors and their stories. HOLA! USA understands that while the Duchess has several projects ahead, her top priority remains her family, and that she and Harry will continue to stand together in support of causes that matter to them.
The Invictus Games hold a special place in the Duke and Duchess' love story, as it was at the 2017 sporting event in Toronto, Canada where the couple made their first public appearance together. Meghan, who married Harry in 2018, has attended all of the games since, in Sydney, The Hague and Düsseldorf.
Harry and Meghan traveled to Canada last February for Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025's One Year to Go celebrations and participating nations' Winter Training Camp. In remarks at gala during their trip, the Duke said, “The Invictus Games are not just a competition; they’re a way of life…a celebration of the human spirit. The games provide a platform for us to showcase your abilities, to inspire the world, and honour the sacrifices of those we have lost. It is a reminder that we are not defined by our injuries, but by our strength, our commitment, and our ability to overcome adversity.”
The 2025 Invictus Games kick off on Saturday, Feb. 8, and run through Feb. 16. This year's edition, which will include winter sports for the first time, is taking place in Vancouver and Whistler. “As Invictus continues to adapt and evolve, I am extremely excited to announce that the Invictus Games Foundation has selected Canada to host the first-ever Winter Hybrid Games in 2025,” Harry said in 2022. “The Invictus Games Vancouver-Whistler 2025 will offer a global platform to expand the range and profile of winter adaptive sports. With deep respect, I’m also pleased to share that the Games in Canada will be held in partnership with the First Nations, in the spirit of truth and reconciliation with indigenous communities.”

According to the Danish Royal House's official program, King Frederik's younger brother and sister-in-law will be at the competition on Feb. 14 and on Feb. 15.
