In recent days, Meghan Markle has been seen at multiple events, showing her support for Prince Harry at the 2025 Invictus Games. However, despite the competition continuing until February 16, the Duchess of Sussex departed yesterday.

After returning to Montecito, California, she posted a photo on her Instagram Story, writing: “A taste of Canada and The Invictus Games for our little ones [Lilibet and Archie, the couple’s children]! Cheering you on from home.”

An insider from Invictus clarified to Hello! that Meghan’s departure was nothing out of the ordinary and had nothing to do with any behind-the-scenes drama.

“This was always planned,” the source explained. “Meghan is going home to be with her children [Lilibet and Archie, who are in Montecito, California]. Meghan left the games in Dusseldorf early after five days to go home. This is Prince Harry’s event, and she is there to support him, but this was planned.”

Just a day before her departure, Meghan was spotted alongside Harry at a family and friends tubing event in Whistler. She kept warm in a stylish Aritzia coat, a Rag & Bone sweater, white pants, and Sorel boots, completing the look with a Moncler hat and Miu Miu sunglasses.

Meghan and Harry have frequently attended events separately. Back in October, a close friend of the couple revealed to People that this was an intentional decision, as they were actively carving out their own professional paths.
