• Meghan Markle's Canadian gifts
  • Support at the Invictus Games
  • Family and future hopes

Meghan Markle recently returned to California after attending the Invictus Games in Canada, where she supported her husband, Prince Harry. During her stay, Meghan collected a variety of Canadian treats and gifts for their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. These gifts included iconic Canadian snacks such as bear paw-shaped chocolates and Tim Hortons doughnuts. A highlight for the children was the custom-made jerseys from Team Nigeria, presented to Harry at a wheelchair basketball event on February 9. "We did one for him and one for M and for the kids," said Nigerian team manager Derrick Cobbinah. "They said they would be excited to have them. She was very, very excited."

Support at the Invictus Games

Meghan's presence at the Games was not just about cheering from the sidelines; she played a significant role in supporting Harry. The Duchess spent five days at the event before returning home to care for the children, while Harry stayed until the closing ceremony. The Invictus Games, founded by Harry in 2014, aim to provide a sporting platform for injured military personnel and veterans. During the opening ceremony, Harry emphasized the Games' spirit of unity, stating, "In this moment of difficulty and division in many parts of the world, we gather here in Vancouver in a spirit of unity." He continued to highlight the importance of mutual respect and support among participants.

Harry expressed his hopes that his children would embrace sports as a vital part of their lives. The couple also engaged with the local community, participating in the Friends and Families Indigenous Craft and Museum Tour and meeting with the Squamish Nation Language Nest.
