“She has the right to go to Dusseldorf but featuring her so much is effectively stealing the spotlight from the games, which is a wasted opportunity.

“Meghan is quite dominant, Harry had a bit of charisma before she arrived, but when Meghan arrives, things tend to change a bit.

“Especially with this gesture when she’s a bit bored. It was a running joke at first, but it’s happened so many times through the past three years, we know Harry completely changes when she’s around.

“She begins with a tap on the back, then she grabs him and begins to pull him away. That’s what she does.”

Meghan joined Harry last week in Dusseldorf for the multi-sport event where they made their first joint public showing in 2017.

The pair were seen courtside at the Merkur Spiel-Arena.

Prince Harry was joined by his wife late as Meghan needed to do the school run.

She said: "I'm sorry that I was a little late to the party.

"Just like so many of you this is about family and friends and the community that Invictus has created, that Fisher House has created, so I just had to spend a little bit more time at home getting our little ones settled, getting milkshakes, doing school drop off, and then I landed a couple of hours ago."
