Their personal message continued: "It was a great and life-affirming experience! We are incredibly proud of our participants and their accompanying families and friends."
The selfie marks an unusual move for the Danish Royal Family's social media presence, though it matches the friendly spirit of the Invictus competition.
Prince Joachim and Princess Marie attended the Games on Friday and Saturday, participating in Danish team training sessions and showing their support from the stands.
The couple spent time with athletes and their families behind the scenes during their visit.
A notable moment came when they had a courtside chat with Prince Harry during a sitting volleyball match on Saturday.
The pair's presence was announced in advance, with the Danish Royal House emphasising their commitment to veterans' causes.
Prince Joachim and Princess Marie currently live in Washington, D.C. with their children, Count Henrik, 15, and Countess Athena, 13.
The couple relocated to the United States in the summer of 2023 when Prince Joachim took up a new position at the Danish Embassy under the Ministry of Defense.
