The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are keeping busy this summer with a birthday date for Meghan and a solo trip to Singapore for Prince Harry’s charity polo match.
When can we anticipate the couple’s next public outing together? Earlier this month, the couple also shared a joint video message to congratulate young tech leaders.

Harry and Meghan’s representatives have not made any official announcements, but it is likely that the Duchess will accompany her husband to the Games in Germany from September 9 to 16.
The Sussexes cherish their memories of the Invictus Games. Just two months before announcing their engagement, the couple decided to publicly acknowledge their relationship at the Toronto Games in 2017.
Meghan was seated about 18 seats away from her then-boyfriend Harry at the opening ceremony along with her mother Doria Ragland and friend Markus Anderson.
A few days later, the couple left the house holding hands to go to the wheelchair tennis match.

The Sydney Olympics in 2019 fell during Harry and Meghan’s tour of Australia, which took place while the Duchess was expecting her first child, Prince Archie.
The tournament in the Hague, Netherlands, that was originally scheduled to take place in 2020 but was delayed due to the global pandemic was also attended by Harry and Meghan in April 2022.
The Sussexes also traveled to Germany in September of last year for the One Year To Go launch party.
Netflix announced the scheduled debut of Harry’s eagerly anticipated documentary, Heart of Invictus, earlier this week. On August 30, the series will premiere.

The Duke addresses the crowd in one of the videos, saying, “It is here at the Invictus Games that you realise whatever you carry, it was a springboard that propelled you to the next level.”
In another exchange, Harry addresses the camera directly and states: “The Games doesn’t focus on what causes the injury but really about the recovery and how to be part of a community again.”
What are the Invictus Games?

An international multisport competition for wounded, ill, and injured service members is known as the Invictus Games.
The first tournament was held in London in 2014, and several members of the royal family, including Mike and Zara Tindall, Prince William, the Duchess of Cornwall, and then-Prince Charles, attended to support Harry.
Since then, Orlando in 2016, Toronto in 2017, Sydney in 2018, and The Hague in 2020 have all hosted the Games.
