The 2025 Invictus Games kicked off in Vancouver, Canada, on February 8 at BC Place, celebrating the resilience of wounded and sick service personnel. Founded by Prince Harry in 2014, the event has grown into a symbol of strength and recovery. This year introduced winter adaptive sports, with 550 athletes from 25 nations competing through February 16.
While the Games were inspiring, it was a private moment between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that captured everyone’s attention. As Harry prepared to take the stage, lip reader Jeremy Freeman revealed that he told Meghan, “Okay…I’ll be back later,” to which she tenderly responded, “You’re amazing!” Their affectionate connection continued, with Harry placing his hand on Meghan’s thigh while riding a golf buggy.
Body language expert Judi James noted that Meghan’s animated interactions seemed like a deliberate response to Donald Trump’s recent derogatory comments about her. James suggested Meghan’s gestures during the ceremony showcased pride and admiration for her husband, emphasizing their strong bond. The couple’s warmth and affection, set against the powerful backdrop of the Games, became a heartwarming highlight of the event.
