Prince Harry made a surprise solo appearance in Vancouver on Sunday, showing up unannounced at the Grey Cup before the Toronto Argonauts faced the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Duke of Sussex, looking relaxed and cheerful, mingled with the crowd on the sidelines and waved to enthusiastic fans in the stands.
Speaking with TSN’s James Duthie, Harry expressed his excitement for the game, saying, “I’m really looking forward to the game getting started, let’s go!” His natural charisma was evident as he connected with the audience, making the moment even more memorable.
Harry was in Vancouver to promote the upcoming Invictus Games, scheduled to take place in Vancouver and Whistler from February 8 to 16. This year’s event will feature winter sports for the first time, including sit-skiing, snowboarding, curling, and even skeleton.
The Games, which Harry founded in 2014, will bring together over 500 wounded and injured veterans and service personnel from 23 countries to compete in a celebration of resilience and camaraderie.
For Harry, the Invictus Games are more than just a sporting event—they are an opportunity to honor veterans and provide a platform for their inspiring stories of determination. His passion for the initiative was clear during his appearance at the Grey Cup, as he emphasized the power of sport to unite people and inspire change.
While Harry was in Canada, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, enjoyed a night out in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Meghan attended the launch of Highbrow Hippie, a new haircare line co-founded by her longtime friend and colorist, Kadi Lee, at the trendy Gjelina restaurant on Venice’s Abbot Kinney Boulevard. The intimate and stylish event was made even more glamorous by Meghan’s presence.
Dressed elegantly, Meghan accessorized with a gold necklace engraved with the names of her children, Archie and Lilibet, a touching tribute to her family.
Although Harry wasn’t by her side, Meghan was joined by her trusted glam squad, including hairstylist Serge Normant, who created her wedding-day updo, and her close friend and makeup artist Daniel Martin. Meghan seemed to thoroughly enjoy celebrating her friend’s success, dancing and mingling with guests throughout the evening.
Meghan has been a strong supporter of Kadi’s work, and her investment in Highbrow Hippie reflects her commitment to empowering women entrepreneurs.
In a statement to InStyle, Meghan said, “Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that. I’m so proud to invest in her as a friend and as a female founder.”
