In the coming year, the Invictus Games will also take place in Germany for the first time. Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are taking a pre-event for the veteran sports competition as an opportunity to also make a stop in North Rhine-Westphalia on their upcoming trip to Europe.
Harry and Meghan are scheduled to come to Germany on September 6th. This has been confirmed by a spokeswoman for the former British Royals. Accordingly, the two will take part in an event as part of the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf.
The couple, who now live in California, will be visiting some charities in Europe that are close to their hearts, they said in a statement. Among them is an event in Germany that takes place in the run-up to the Invictus Games, which are to be held in Düsseldorf next year. The day before, the ex-royals are expected in the British city of Manchester. On September 8th we will go to Great Britain again. The two are "delighted," the statement continues.
Harry and Meghan had broken away from the close circle of the British royal family in early 2020. They live in Santa Barbara, California, with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. The relationship with the rest of the Royals is considered partially tense. Home visits have become rare in recent years, not only because of the pandemic. Harry is also in litigation with the UK Home Office over whether and how he can still get police protection for himself and his family in the UK.
The Invictus Games, a sports competition for soldiers and veterans injured in action, is considered a project close to Prince Harry's heart. They first took place in 2014. With Düsseldorf, a venue in Germany is planned for the first time.
