The Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle attended a preview event for the games in Canada in February this year.

The couple stepped out at Invictus events across several days in Canada in what was seen as a preview of the first-ever winter edition of the sporting competition.

As well as attending the Canada preview event, Meghan has joined Harry at the Invictus Games in The Netherlands and Germany.

She is expected to accompany Harry in February at the Vancouver games, with the couple reportedly weighing up bringing their son Prince Archie with them.

Harry told TNS regarding the sporting competition: "It's really an opportunity for the individuals themselves and their families to heal and rehabilitate through sport."

He added: "This time in less than three months we'll be back for the opening ceremony in February, so that's what we're really excited about."

Harry founded the Invictus Games a decade ago when he was still a working member of the Royal Family.

Despite stepping down from the monarchy in 2020, Prince Harry has continued his work with the sporting competition for veterans.

The first Invictus Games were held in London in 2014 and the Duke of Sussex hosted an anniversary event to mark the occasion earlier this year at St Paul's Cathedral.

In July, Prince Harry announced that the Invictus Games will return to the UK in 2027.

Birmingham was chosen over DC Washington on the final two destination shortlist in a choice between the UK or US as the hosting nation.
