SPORTING CHANCE

Gazing into each other's eyes and sharing a public kiss, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex looked the picture of happiness as they attended the Invictus Games last week.

The couple flew to the Netherlands for the event that celebrates the sporting achievements and prowess of injured former servicemen and servicewomen. The Games no doubt hold a special place in the hearts of the pair. They made their public debut as a couple at the Toronto event in 2017 and announced they were expecting Archie just ahead of the Sydney Games in 2018.

At the opening ceremony in The Hague, Meghan, 40, gave a speech honouring the athletes and was joined on stage by her husband - where they shared a kiss for the cameras. During the week-long event, the duke and duchess attended numerous sporting spectacles and former serviceman Harry revealed that to have his wife by his side made the event all the more special. "I had always wanted to share these incredible moments with someone special and to have Meg by my side means everything," he gushed. "I am an incredibly lucky man to have her as my wife."

Another sweet moment saw Lisa Johnson of Team UK sharing a hug with Harry and Meghan after she earned gold in the shot put competition. Towards the end of the competition, Meghan flew home to California to be reunited with their children Archie and Lilibet, leaving Harry to deliver a speech at the Games' closing ceremony alone. Meghan had confessed to missing her kids at a children's reading event during her European trip.
