Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at the 2023 Invictus Games: See All the Photos!

A veteran himself, Harry was in Dusseldorf, Germany, for the week to support wounded, injured and sick service men and women in the biennial competition, with wife Meghan Markle by his side

Another incredible round of the Invictus Games has come to an end.

On Saturday, Sept. 9, Prince Harry kicked off the latest installment of his Invictus Games for wounded, sick and injured veterans in Düsseldorf, Germany, closing the competitions on Saturday, Sept. 16.

"I hope you're excited," Harry said in a video message one month prior to the Games. "I'm probably a little bit nervous — I'm both. But I can't wait to see all of you and have the whole community together once again — it's been too long."

The excitement carried through all week, as Harry and wife Meghan Markle enjoyed the various competitions, handed out medals and even had some German beers in the stands!

Now that the Games have concluded, look back on what Harry, Meghan and the veterans accomplished throughout the week.

Opening Remarks

Prince Harry hits the stage during the opening ceremony of the 2023 Invictus Games on Sept. 9.

"Now, I'm not saying we play favorites in our home, but since my wife discovered she's of Nigerian descent, it's likely to get a little bit more competitive this year," he told the crowd.

Stage Right

Harry's opening ceremony speech also delivered an emotional promise to competitors.

"You're all on different parts of your healing journey — we all are, we always will be — but I can assure you that this experience will hopefully be life-changing, and you will come out of it a better person for sure," he said.

I am thrilled that the first event that I can do with Invictus is here with all of you.”
