Harry and Meghan are spending Easter Sunday watching sports at Invictus Games

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will spend Easter Sunday watching sport on the first full day of competition at the Invictus Games.

Harry and Meghan can choose from a program of athletics, archery and sitting volleyball at Zuiderpark in The Hague, the Netherlands.

The pair hailed the courage of the Ukraine team at Saturday night’s opening ceremony of the games, with Meghan exclaiming “Slava Ukraini”, meaning “Glory of Ukraine”.

Harry appeared emotional after being brought onto the stage by Meghan, who called him her “incredible” husband.

The pair shared a kiss before Harry gave a heartfelt speech, telling the Ukrainian competitors: “You know we stand by you. The world is united with you and yet you deserve more.

“And I hope that these events, this event, will create an opportunity for us as a global community to be a better presence for you.”

The Ukrainian team received a long round of applause as they arrived for the ceremony.

Before introducing Harry, Meghan said: “My husband and I both recognize that there was a lot to accomplish for each team, both physically and emotionally. Not least for the Ukrainian team, which we all stand by.”

To great applause, she added: “Slava Ukraini!”

During his speech, Harry acknowledged the “boundless humility, compassion and friendship” of the Invictus Games.

The Duke founded the Invictus Games to support the rehabilitation of injured or ill military members and veterans from around the world by challenging them to compete in sporting events similar to the Paralympics.

Harry and Meghan made their first public appearance together in Europe since stepping down as senior working royals more than two years ago when they attended a reception at the Games on Friday.

A camera crew has joined the pair at the games as part of filming for a Netflix documentary called Heart Of Invictus – a series from Archewell Productions that follows attendees at the event.
