Meghan, Duchess of Sussex made an impromptu speech at the Invictus Games.
The 43-year-old former actress has been married to Prince Harry - who founded the multi-sport event for veterans more than a decade ago - since 2018 and upon arrival at the opening on Saturday (8.02.25) in British Colombia, gushed about how passionate her husband is about the games.
She said: "We just arrived a couple of hours ago and I touched Canadian soil and I went, 'feels like home.'
"We are so excited and we also recognize most of you are probably so exhausted from how much travel you've done, how much adrenaline you have pumping, how excited you are for what is going to be one of the most outstanding, memorable, unforgettable, and connected weeks probably for you and your families.
"We are just thrilled to be here and I would be remiss if I didn't take the opportunity to introduce someone who means a lot to me and I know means quite a lot to all of you,.
"You will see him throughout this week. You will see him at the games, you will see him probably curling with you and cheering you on at wheelchair basketball."
The former 'Suits' star - who has Prince Archie, five, and three-year-old Princess Lilibet with Harry - noted that her husband feels so strongly about the games that he is often distracted during the "big rush" in the early morning when the family are trying to get ready for the day.
She said: "With families...the big rush in the morning and getting ready for school and packing the lunchboxes and making breakfast and my husband is in all of that with all.
"And then he'll be on his phone, and Archie will be like, 'Papa, why are you on your phone?' and he says, 'Because it's Invictus, I'm getting ready for Invictus.'.
"It means so much to him. You are his family just as we are his family. And I hope you recognize how much of his heart he has poured into every single beat that has gotten all of you to this week, that's going to be spectacular."
