Prince Harry & Meghan’s Kids Might Make An Appearance At Invictus Games

According to a report, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, may make their first public appearance at the 2024 Invictus Games in Vancouver.

The Sussexes, who are involved in organizing the family-friendly event, reportedly plan to bring their children to promote the inclusive games.

This comes after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released their 2024 Christmas card, featuring a rare photo of Archie and Lilibet.

According to a source who spoke to The Express, Harry and Meghan’s children, Archie and Lilibet, could attend the Invictus Games opening ceremony in Vancouver next year, marking their first public appearance.

The insider shared that the royal couple is considering taking Archie and Lilibet to the February 8 event to help promote a new “family-friendly” Invictus Game.

According to sources, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “have been very involved with the organizational elements of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler events and it was very much their idea to make this a family-friendly game so that those taking part can bring their children along.”

If Archie and Lilibet appear at the Invictus game, it will mark a notable shift for the Sussexes, who have been protective of their children’s privacy.

This comes after Harry and Meghan recently released the first public photo of their children in years with their 2024 Christmas card.

The holiday card featured a heartwarming image of Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, captured from behind as they ran toward their parents. In the charming photo, Meghan beamed at Archie while Harry crouched down to greet Lilibet.

The festive card includes five memorable moments from the family’s recent travels, including trips to Nigeria and Colombia in August.

On December 4, during a candid conversation at The New York Times DealBook Online Summit, Harry opened up about his life in the U.S. and expressed his gratitude for the experience.

He said, “I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here. It’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live.”

The duke went on to reflect on his current lifestyle, adding, “I feel as though it’s the life that my mom wanted for me. To be able to do the things I’m able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the U.K. – it’s huge.”

He continued, “That is a fantastic opportunity, and I’m hugely grateful for that.”

At the DealBook Summit, Harry also slammed trolls who spread rumors about his marriage to Meghan.

According to the Daily Mail, the host, Andrew Ross Sorkin, asked about their separate appearances at various events.

He said, “They’re fascinated Meghan is in California right now, and you’re here. There are articles left and right about: ‘Why are you making, doing independent events? Why aren’t you doing them together?”

The Duke of Sussex swiftly dismissed the rumors, joking, “Apparently, we’ve bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10 or 12 times as well. So it’s just like, ‘what?.'”

Harry then addressed online trolls, saying he feels “genuinely sorry” for those who spread false rumors about his marriage.

“Their hopes are just built and built, and it’s like, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,’ and then it doesn’t happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do,” the prince added.

Before the couple released their holiday card, it was revealed that Harry and Meghan were preparing to celebrate Christmas in their Montecito home, along with Archie, Lilibet, and Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, after being snubbed from the royal family’s traditional festivities at Sandringham.

A source told Closer Magazine that the couple is focused on creating a magical and memorable holiday for their children.

“Meghan’s mom Doria will join them at home in Montecito and they’ll ensure the children have a joyful day, despite not being around extended family,” the insider noted, adding that the absence of an invitation to join the royals was no surprise to the Sussexes.
