After providing unwavering support to Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Canada, Meghan Markle has returned to California to care for their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The Duchess didn’t come home empty-handed, bringing back thoughtful gifts to delight her little ones.
On Wednesday, Meghan shared a glimpse of the treats on Instagram Stories, with a photo taken from their sunlit kitchen in their $30 million Montecito home, overlooking the garden. “A taste of Canada and The Invictus Games for our little ones!” she captioned the post. “Cheering you on from home!”
The haul included popular Canadian snacks like bear paw-shaped chocolates, Timbits, and Tim Hortons doughnuts. Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, also received personalized jerseys from Team Nigeria, with their names printed on the back. The jerseys were a gift to Harry at a wheelchair basketball event on February 9.
“We did one for him, one for M, and one for the kids,” Nigerian team manager Derrick Cobbinah told People. “They said they would be excited to have them. Meghan was very, very excited.”
Meghan spent five days watching the games in Vancouver and Whistler before returning to care for the children, while Harry remained for the Games’ closing ceremony on Sunday.
Harry expressed his joy at having Meghan by his side during the event, which he founded in 2014 to provide a sporting outlet for injured military personnel and veterans. “To have my wife here supporting me is amazing. I love that she’s by my side,” he said during his speech. “It’s such an important piece to this whole adventure.”
During the Games, Meghan joined Harry on stage for his speech and the couple shared sweet moments in the stands. They also toured the Friends and Families Indigenous Craft and Museum and met with the Squamish Nation Language Nest community.
Harry revealed that their children, especially Archie, are already learning about the Invictus Games and the power of sport in mental health. “Our kids are still so young, but Archie especially is asking those questions,” Harry told People. “I’m constantly trying to explain what’s happened to [the competitors] and what we do at Invictus to help them redefine themselves.”
He added, “The power of sport is so important. I’m hoping my kids will take on every sport they want because it’s essential for all of us.”
