The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
have met with many of the teams taking part in the Games, which shine a
spotlight on the “unconquerable” character of servicemen and women,
their families and their “Invictus” spirit, as well as the opening
ceremony on Saturday.
But all good things must come
to an end, and they did for Meghan on Monday as she flew back to Los Angeles to
be reunited with her children, Archie, who turns three next month, and Lili,
who turns one in June.
It’s no surprise that the
40-year-old hasn’t stayed with Harry during the whole duration of the games as
on day two, she revealed she was really missing her children.
Meghan and Harry’s last public appearance at the Invictus Games was on Sunday
Meghan made the confession as
she sat in on reading to a group of 12 children in a private event held in
the Zuiderpark.
She told British army veteran
James Stride that she had wanted to attend the reading as it meant she was
around children, and they reminded her of her own, which stayed behind in
Montecito, presumably in the care of her mother, Doria Ragland.
The couple delighted crowds on Saturday as they kissed on stage
“She said she wanted to
be with children as she was missing her own.” The couple’s trip to Europe
is understood to be the longest they have been apart from Archie and Lili.
Ahead of their trip to the Netherlands, the couple made a quick stop in
the UK, where they met with Prince Charles and Camilla as well as the Queen.
It was the first time that the
couple jointly visited the Queen following their bombshell interview with Oprah
Winfrey last year.
