The couple met
with officials and potential competitors to mark the one-year countdown to
the 2023 games held in Dusseldorf.
Brigadier General Alfred Marstaller,
chief executive of the Invictus Games Dusseldorf, said those involved were
“honoured” to welcome the couple for the event.
According to The Daily
Mail, Harry and Meghan will be protected by their own private security teams.
In addition to this, German police will also be on hand to manage crowd control
in the market square where the pair kicked off their visit at around 1pm.
After walking down the red
carpet, the duo posed for a group photo alongside Alfred Marstaller, Lord
Mayor of the State Capital Dusseldorf, Siemtje Möller and Markus
Laubenthal.

shoes.
The couple were all smiles
Delivering a speech at the
Town Hall reception, Harry said he is “filled with such
excitement” at the thought of the next Invictus Games having the backdrop
of the River Rhine.
He said: “I can’t wait to
hear the roar of the crowds, to feel the adrenalin of the competition and join
in on the laughter and even the tears, happy ones of course, while we get to
witness lives being changed right before our eyes.”

most vulnerable moments, encouragement is essential. So, I ask that we all
do our part to provide space for these incredible servicemen and women to be
honest, courageous and true to themselves.”
