Meghan Markle left horrified after Prince Harry makes bold promise to Invictus game crowd
Singing might not be Meghan Markle’s strong suit.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in Vancouver, Canada for the start of the 2025 Invictus Games and on Monday, Harry took the stage as he and Meghan introduction Michael Bublé.
The artist kicked off the event by singing a riff of “Feeling Good.”
“Well, thank God Michael Bublé sang,” Harry said. “Can you imagine bringing him out here and him saying, ‘You know what? I didn’t come here to sing…’ Thank you for the introduction.”
He also gave a nod to Whistler’s mayor, Jack Crompton, calling him “my ginger friend” before asking the audience, “Are there any other gingers in the house?”
Giving a shout-out to the competitors, Harry went on: “Thank you all so much for the love and support for these incredible athletes. You all came up here knowing you were going to get cold, so thank you for the support!”
With a sly grin, the Duke of Sussex waved his other half over. “My wife and I — come on out here! Come on!” As she joined him at the podium, they wrapped their arms around each other, and Harry quipped, “Now she’s going to sing!”
Looking horrified, Meghan burst out laughing and shut down the possibility with a firm, “No!”
As they exited the stage, the “Suits” alum turned to the crowd with a warm farewell: “Thank you, everybody. Have the best time!”
The international sporting event that celebrates wounded, injured and sick service members and veterans is taking place in Vancouver and Whistler from Feb. 8 until Feb. 16.
On Friday, Meghan and Harry attended a welcome reception for athletes and their friends and families, taking the stage to deliver an unscripted speech.
In a clip shared on X by an attendee, Meghan gushed about her return to Canada and honored all the work Harry does. She previously lived in Toronto when she filmed the USA Network series “Suits.”
“I was not planning on speaking tonight,” she began. “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,” Meghan explained.
“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,” shared Meghan. “You will see him at the games, you will see him probably curling with you and cheering you on at wheelchair basketball.”
Meghan also teased that Harry will take part in sports that she would “never do” to show his support for those in the sports tournament.
Ahead of the event, Meghan noted how she’s observed Harry being a dedicated father to their kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while also preparing for the games.
“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 of us,” she told the crowd. “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.’”
