Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again proved they are the couple of the moment after they were snapped looking seriously loved up at the Invictus Games.
The Duchess of Sussex joined her husband at the event on Tuesday to celebrate the competition’s Family & Friends party - and the pair couldn’t have looked happier about being reunited.
Prince Harry was seen "grinning like a kid in a candy store", according to royal fans. Meanwhile, Meghan, who flew in from California to be with the "Invictus Family", beamed throughout the heartwarming event.
Meghan told the audience: "It’s so special to be here and I’m sorry I’m a little late for the party", referencing her late arrival at the games, which kicked off in Dusseldorf, Germany on Saturday.
"I had to spend a little more time getting our little ones settled at home and get them to drop off. Three milkshakes and a school drop-off and I just landed a couple of hours ago, and I am thrilled that the first event I can do for Invictus is here with all of you," she added.
Reacting to the sweet moment online, royal fans couldn’t help but gush over the couple. Writing on X (formerly Twitter), one social media user said: "Meghan is so well-spoken, obviously comfortable speaking from the heart. Harry looks so happy to have her there with him. Lovely."

A second agreed, adding: "Meghan's arrival has Harry looking so happy and grinning like a kid in a candy store." Another wrote: "I Feel The Love!!", and someone commented: "Welcome Meghan… oh how we missed you..".
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the games, Prince Harry admitted this year’s games could be "a little bit more competitive" than previous years. "Now I’m not saying we play favourites in our home... but since my wife discovered that she is of Nigerian descent, it’s likely to get a little bit more competitive this year," he joked.
Prince Harry also spoke of the importance of the games, which he founded to benefit and support servicemen and women. "These games are not solely about medals, PBs or finishing lines. They are about overcoming any and all perceptions that [have] held you back, especially those you've placed on yourselves," he told the audience, before receiving a standing ovation.
It’s so nice to see the couple having a great time together (and for such a worthy cause).
