Watching Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry at the Invictus Games, they looked every inch the couple in love.
Courtside at the wheelchair basketball event, on stage at a reception for veterans’ friends and family, at the swimming pool and even posing with an adorable pooch, Meghan and Harry operated as one.
As Meghan herself has previously said: ‘We’re like salt and pepper. We always move together.’
Those loved-up images were charming and convincing. What could be more wholesome than Meghan cheering on her husband and all service veterans in the Paralympic-style games that saw 21 nations, including the UK, USA and Israel, compete against each other in Düsseldorf, Germany?
However, let’s take a moment. These pictures are the first time that the couple have appeared together in public for four months – ever since THAT car chase in New York back in May, which they claimed was ‘near catastrophic’ after they were chased by paparazzi photographers, but everyone else (including the city’s mayor, NYPD officials and even their taxi driver) said was most definitely not.
Since then, professional disappointments and financial reality have hit hard. Spotify dumped them, with one of its top executives branding them ‘grifters’, Netflix cancelled some of their projects (with rumours that they were failing to come up with workable ideas) and Harry ran up millions in legal bills with his various court cases against the British press.
