Meghan Markle Leaves Prince Harry at Invictus Games to Return Home to Children

Meghan Markle spent five days supporting Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Canada before returning to California to be with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had attended the opening ceremony of the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver on February 8, 2025. Meghan had always planned to leave early, after spending several days by her husband’s side at the event, which honors wounded, injured, and sick veterans.

“This was always planned. Meghan is going home to be with her children,” a source revealed to Daily Mail. “She was there to support Prince Harry, but this was part of the plan.”

Meghan’s Early Departure

Before leaving, Meghan participated in a tubing event with friends and family in Whistler. Later that afternoon, she departed, leaving Harry to present medals for alpine skiing.

Though she had to say goodbye to Harry and the event, Meghan admitted to missing her children during her time at the games. She was spotted holding a seven-month-old baby during a wheelchair basketball game in Vancouver, where she expressed how much she missed her own children.

“She said she was a very happy baby. She said her kids were at home and she missed them and she was excited to see a baby that was so happy,” Cynthia Phelps, one of the attendees, shared with The Telegraph.

Affection on Display and a Powerful Message

The couple, who arrived in Vancouver on Friday, stayed at one of the city's most luxurious hotels. Over the weekend, they attended various events such as wheelchair basketball and curling. Their affection for each other was visible when they shared a kiss during the opening ceremony at BC Place Stadium.

In his speech at the opening ceremony, Prince Harry shared a powerful message. “At this moment, when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, and no lack of weak moral character in the world, the values you embody—your courage, resilience, and humanity—illuminate a path forward for us all,” he said. His comments about "lack of moral character" followed former US President Donald Trump’s criticism of his marriage and controversial remarks regarding deportation.

Champions Trophy a Crucial Moment for Virat and Rohit, Says Harbhajan Singh

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has expressed confidence in Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s ability to rise to the occasion in the upcoming Champions Trophy. He emphasized that while expectations are high, both players still have the talent to shine, even as young talents eagerly await their opportunities.

Speaking to ANI, Harbhajan acknowledged that Kohli and Sharma have not been able to score as many runs as expected based on their past performances. He noted, “The expectations are huge, and when they don’t meet them, criticism follows.

He highlighted the team's familiarity with Dubai’s pitches, which could play a decisive role in their favor. "The India-Pakistan match is hyped up, but the team that adapts better to the pitch will likely come out on top. India has the edge, having played all its matches in Dubai, giving it a clear understanding of the conditions. Overall, I feel India is the stronger team and the result will favor us," he concluded.

US Navy Ships Navigate Taiwan Strait, Sparking China's Strong Response

Two U.S. Navy vessels made a significant transit through the Taiwan Strait this week, marking the first such mission under President Donald Trump's administration. The operation has drawn strong criticism from China, which views Taiwan as part of its territory and sees these actions as raising security risks.

The U.S. Navy confirmed that the ships, the USS Ralph Johnson and USNS Bowditch, carried out the north-to-south passage between February 10-12. Despite the mission occurring in international waters, China’s military expressed concerns, stating that such actions send the wrong signals and heighten security risks.

China considers Taiwan a "core interest," and the increasing U.S. military presence in the region continues to strain Sino-U.S. relations. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s defense ministry remained vigilant but reported normalcy, as China continues its military presence around the island.

This mission follows other similar U.S. Navy operations, though China's reaction highlights the ongoing tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
