In an impromptu speech on February 7, Meghan spoke of Harry, telling competitors “you are his family,” and adding that the Invictus Games “means so much” to her husband.
“I hope you recognize how much of his heart he has poured into every single beat that has gotten all of you to this week that’s going to be spectacular,” she said. “I need you to know that, how much it means to him and how much each of you mean to him.”
In his own remarks, Harry said, “Over the past decade I’ve lost count of the times we’ve heard you tell us that the Invictus Games saved you. Respectfully, I disagree. Invictus didn’t save you. You saved yourself.”
The Games continue through the weekend, with no doubt more examples in store of how Meghan—who previously lived in both Canada and the U.K. before returning to her home state of California in 2020—hasn’t forgotten how to dress for frigid temperatures.
