It’s been one week since Prince Harry wrapped the 2025 Invictus Games — and Us Weekly spoke to a photographer who was there to capture the best moments.
Karwai Tang is a freelance entertainment and royal photographer based in London, U.K. He captured some of Harry and Meghan Markle’s sweetest PDA moments during the Invictus Games’ opening ceremony in Vancouver, Canada, on February 8.
“I always enjoy photographing them,” Tang said in an interview with Us Weekly from London after the 2025 games. “They photograph really well, genuine… They’re very demonstrative.”
Tang snapped the Duke and Duchess of Sussex kissing and snuggling close together as they watched performances from Chris Martin, Katy Perry, Noah Kahan, Nelly Furtado and Roxane Bruneau.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had the time of their lives at the 2025 Invictus Games. The couple attended multiple events since the opening ceremony of the tournament on Saturday, February 8, at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver. Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, sat in the stands and shared a few sweet moments as they […]
“I photographed them from the start, so it’s actually nice just to photograph them along their journey,” Tang said.
Tang has been photographing Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, since before their wedding at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, England, on May 19, 2018.
He told Us that the couple “haven’t changed” since their public nuptials.
“They haven’t changed. They are what they are, you know,” Tang said. “She’s very handsy, very touchy, you know, touchy feely with Harry, which is good that she hasn’t changed. She wasn’t the person that wanted to change anyway when she married into the royal family,” he added.

Meghan and Harry were often pictured holding hands and being affectionate at public engagements before stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Tang said it’s possible that the couple’s affectionate conduct may have influenced other members of the royal family to follow suit.
“I think with Harry and Meghan being in the royal family for those few years, it’s sort of relaxed a lot of the other members, because every now and again you see Kate and William, not hold hands, but like a hand on the back or on the knee,” Tang said.
Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton have certainly shown more PDA in recent years.
Most recently, the palace shared a photo of William kissing Kate Middleton’s cheek in a candid photo to celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14.

Hi, everybody. How are we feeling?” Meghan, 43, said in her Friday, February 7, remarks, per social media footage, “So, I was not planning on speaking tonight […]
The couple has also become more open in their social media exchanges. For Kate’s 43rd birthday on January 9, William shared a loving tribute on social media, writing, “To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable.”
As for Harry, the 2025 Invictus Games officially came to an end with the closing ceremony on February 16. The prince created the event for injured or wounded service personnel in 2014 after spending a decade in the British army.
Dominic Reid, CEO of the Invictus Games, previously told Us that the prince’s commitment to the games is “unparalleled.”
“He once described [The Invictus Games] to being his second child,” he said. “This was before [his daughter] Lilibet was born, and then he quickly corrected himself, ‘my first child.’ It’s a very important thing to him.”
