Harry is staying in Canada to attend the rest of the tournament for injured service personnel and veterans, which will conclude with the closing ceremony on Sunday.

After Meghan’s departure, Harry reportedly took a day off to relax and unwind before continuing with the remaining events.

Due to security reasons, plans were not disclosed in advance, but a source close to the couple confirmed that Meghan’s return home had always been planned. She had previously left the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf early after five days to return home, and this trip followed a similar schedule. The source emphasized that while Meghan is there to support Harry, the event is his, and her stay was always intended to be brief.

Meghan was seen disembarking from a private jet upon her arrival in California earlier this week. She had spent five days in Vancouver and Whistler with Harry for the seventh edition of the Invictus Games. Aides stated that her trip home was pre-planned, just as it had been at the 2023 event in Germany.

Following her return, Meghan shared a glimpse of the gifts she brought back for Archie and Lilibet, which included personalized souvenirs from Canada. In an Instagram post, she wrote about bringing home a taste of Canada and the Invictus Games for their children and cheered on Harry from afar.

Harry remains in Canada to see the tournament through to its conclusion, with security plans kept private in advance. A source reiterated that Meghan’s early return was prearranged and that she had gone home to be with their children, just as she had done in previous years.
