Solo Prince Harry drinks beers, gives celebratory kisses to Team UK at Invictus Games – best pictures

Earlier in the evening the Duke watched the bronze medal game between Team USA and Team Australia, with HELLO! spotting the Dukeclapping for Team USA’s tries. 

The Duke sat alongside Richie McCaw, a former New Zealand rugby player who captained the New Zealand national team, the All Blacks, and won two world cups. 

The pair were handed cups of what appeared to be lager, and were seen cheers-ing each other.

Team USA won the match 27-20.

Harry then sat front row alongside former British military for the Gold medal match between Team UK and Team France.

The event was the only public appearance for Harry on Thursday, who is now in Vancouver for the final days of the 2025 Games solo.

At half-time it was 11-10 to Team UK, and Harry was seen encouraging a young British boy to cheer on his country.

Unfortunately Team UK lost the game, taking home silver medals.

The Duke handed out the gold medals to France.

Harry was spotted giving Amanda a kiss on the cheek as they greeted each other during the celebrations on the court.

Prince Harry made the USA his home in 2020 when he and wife Meghan left the UK.

Meghan left Canada on Tuesday to return home to their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in Montecito, California.

But she has kept her husband and the Games on hemind, posting on Stories to share a look at the gifts she brought home for the couple’s children.

The snap showed sweet treats including Bear Paws, a brownie-style cookies, Timbits, bite-size donuts from Canadian-based franchise Tim Hortons, and personalized green jerseys for the youngsters gifted from Team Nigeria.

“A taste of Canada and The Invictus Games for our little ones!” Meghan captioned the picture, before making clear that despite leaving Canada, she will continue to follow the Games from Los Angeles. “Cheering you on from home!” she added.

Harry will remain in Canada through to the closing ceremony on February 16.

During their time together in Canada, they attended the wheelchair basketball finals, and watched a pool game for curling.

They also attended several private events.

A source close to Invictus said: “This was always planned. Meghan is going home to be with her children. Meghan left the games in Dusseldorf early after five days to go home.

“This is Prince Harry’s event and she is there to support him but this was planned.”

During the four days Meghan was in attendance, they proudly displayed their love for each other, sharing several passionate kisses at various events, holding hands, and teasing each other.

During the Whistler opening celebration Harry brought his wife out on stage and joked that she would be singing for the crowd, leaving her blushing and hiding behind her husband. 

The next day Harry was caught on video cackling with laughter as a nervous Meghan was pushed down an icy slope for her first ever tube run.

The couple also enjoyed two date nights, the first with Canadian singer Michael Buble, his wife, Luisana Lopilata, and Meghan’s former assistant Chantelle and her husband Luke, and again in Whistler with Michael and Luisiana.
