Just as fans eagerly await Kanye West’s new album drop, the anticipation for Markle’s return to the silver screen is palpable.

As Netflix viewers celebrate the ongoing success of Suits, the world eagerly awaits Markle’s return to acting. This likens the anticipation to that surrounding Ye’s new album. In the midst of this excitement, the Duchess of Sussex made a touching appearance in an advertisement, for her husband’s passion project. She lent her voice to a poignant video for the Fisher House Foundation, a Premier Partner of the Invictus Games. The video, shown during an Invictus seminar, portrayed her meeting with families who had benefited from the foundation’s assistance, sharing heartfelt moments as she listened to their stories.

Against the backdrop of injured veterans using sports to recover, Markle posed the question, “What does recovery mean to you?” She emphasized that recovery encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects, highlighting the profound impact of the Invictus Games on individuals and their families. The foundation provides housing for military and veteran families. It also relieves them of financial and logistical burdens while their loved ones receive hospital treatment.
