Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been all smiles at the 2025 Invictus Games so far — and the fun continued on Monday, February 10, as Harry jokingly invited his wife to sing on stage.
Harry, 40, gave a lighthearted speech in Whistler, Canada, following an introduction from his friend Michael Bublé — who, naturally, had already delighted the crowd with a quick line from “Feeling Good.”
“Thank God Michael Bublé sang!” said Harry, per footage shared via X. “Can you imagine bringing him out here and him saying, ‘You know what? I didn’t come here to sing…’”
At the end of his speech, Harry beckoned Meghan, 43, to join him on stage. “My wife and I — come on out here! Come on!” he said. As she embraced him on the podium, Harry quipped: “Now she’s going to sing!”A horrified Meghan, wearing a cozy cream coat by Mackage, burst out laughing before firmly responding, “No!” and thanking the crowd for their support. The couple then left the stage, hand in hand, to appreciative whoops from the crowd.
Clearly in a jovial mood, earlier in his speech Harry also offered his thanks to Whistler’s mayor, Jack Crompton, referring to him as “my ginger friend” and asking: “Are there any other gingers in the house?”
The Duke of Sussex also gave his sincere gratitude to those competing, saying, “Thank you all so much for the love and support for these incredible athletes. You all came up here knowing you were going to get cold, so thank you for the support!”
Harry launched the Invictus Games, which sees service personnel and veterans competing in a variety of sports, back in 2014, but this is the first tournament with a focus on winter sports, with events taking place around both Whistler and Vancouver.
Harry and Meghan have seemingly been enjoying a great time together in Canada for this year’s event. As well as attending the welcome celebration and the debut skeleton event, they also went on a double date to an Indian restaurant in Vancouver on Saturday, February 8, with Bublé and his wife, Luisana Lopilato.
The couple also made time to have breakfast with members of Team U.S. Competitor Leandra Moehring told People: “They really took the time with each and every one of us. And despite people who are trying to keep them on schedule, they just did not mind taking pictures at all. And it was just super neat. I loved them.”
