Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to put on united front at Invictus Games
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to present a segment of the Invictus Games.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to enter the stage during the closing ceremony of the games in Düsseldorf, Germany, next month. Harry, 38, will give a goodbye speech at the closing ceremony of the event being held in Merkur Spiel-Arena on September 16. It comes as the trailer for their new Netflix documentary called Heart of Invictus has dropped and is set to be about Harry's inspirational Invictus Games.
Meanwhile, Meghan, 42, will host the 'Lifestories Scene' segment, which provides insight into the bravery and resilience of the injured servicemen and women competing.

The Netflix docuseries will become available on the streaming platform from August 30. The Paralympic-style games for injured and sick military personnel and veterans were founded by Harry in 2014. The show was one of the first to be announced after the Sussexes signed their multi-million dollar deal with Netflix but it is just coming to air almost three years after the contract was signed. The trailer for the show starts with a speech by Harry that he gave at the opening ceremony of the games last year in the Netherlands.

It then cuts to footage of some of the competitors training for the event and focuses on some of the competitors talking about their own experiences. It even shows one Ukrainian coach on a video call talking about the war in the country as shelling can be heard in the background.
Footage from the games is then shown alongside Harry giving a speech where he says: "If your goal was to make your country proud, you've done it. If your goal was to make your family happy, you've achieved it. You are people of substance, of resilience, of strength, you have the heart of Invictus." The show will follow the stories of six Invictus competitors and Harry has been it's executive producer.
Their expected appearance comes after they sat together in the garden of their Montecito home to publicly congratulate winners of their new safer technology grant earlier this month. The couple personally called some of the recipients of funding to promote online safety. Their foundation, Archewell, is among 14 groups and charities giving a combined $2million (£1.57million) in funding.
Other famous figures due to appear at the closing ceremony include Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German president who hosted the King and Queen in March this year, and singer Rita Ora will perform at the event. Prince Harry has claimed this year's event will be 'the best ever', although revealing he was both 'excited' and 'nervous' for the tournament. Harry and Meghan made their first ever public appearance together at the 2017 games in Toronto.
