IN LONDON

Meghan Markle has been left in shock on stage at the Invictus Games following a cheeky quip from her husband.

Prince Harry was addressing the crowd during the sporting tournament in Whistler, Canada, this week, following a performance by Canadian singer Michael Bublé.

“Thank God Michael Bublé sang. Can you imagine bringing Michael Bublé out here and he says, ‘You know, I didn’t come here to sing.’ I’m like, ‘Well, why are you here?’” Harry joked, as seen in footage posted on X.

The Duke of Sussex went on to thank the injured and sick military service personnel taking part in this year’s Games, and Canada for hosting them, before inviting his wife to join him.

“Come here,” Harry said, while gesturing for Meghan to come up to the podium.

As she walked up beside him, he added “and now she’s going to sing”, prompting a shocked Meghan to gesture “no”, while turning away in embarrassment.

The couple were then seen giggling, with Meghan telling the crowd to “have the best time” before leaving the stage.

Over the weekend, Harry shared a cheeky moment with Team Australia, who gifted him a present he jokingly deemed “so inappropriate”.

In a video shared on Meghan’s Instagram Stories, Harry was seen reacting with mock outrage as he collected a pair of tiny swimmers, aka “budgie smugglers” – an exchange which has become something of a tradition between the duke and the Aussie athletes.

“So inappropriate! I love it. Thank you so much,” Harry told them, laughing.

Meghan captioned the video: “And Team Australia, you’ve done it again!”

Meanwhile, during the opening ceremony on Saturday night, Harry spoke passionately to the military community and their families of their strength and courage.

“Over the past decade, I’ve lost count of the times that we’ve heard you tell us that the Invictus Games ‘saved you’,” he told them.

“Respectfully, I disagree. Invictus didn’t save you. You saved yourself.

“It was you who pushed through the doubt and despair. You who summited your own mountain and brought us along with you. It was you who kept going even when you didn’t think you had any more to give. We didn’t do that. You did.”
