Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might have given up on royalty, but the perks and allowances that come with being a royal are still intact to them. Other than the administration, it is the UK Monarchy that gets to enjoy tea with the higher-ups of the country. Nonetheless, even after leaving the monarchy for good, the Duke of Sussex has once again proved that the separation got nothing on him. With his Invictus Games making the noise, Prince Harry gets a major step up on board. 

Not only the Duke but the entire family also takes much interest in sports. The same became evident when Deadpool superstar Ryan Reynolds roped in the monarch himself for a special event.

Frank-Walter Steinmeier will make a special appearance at the Invictus Games 2023 

As reported by DPA, the German President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, is all set to grace the Olympic-style sporting event in Dusseldorf. Organizers on Monday revealed to the outlet that not only will the nation’s leader attend the ceremony, but he will also pull down the curtains with a closing speech at the end of the tournament. Not just the President, the Duke has also roped other high officials from the administration as well. 

According to the release, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius will be present at the opening ceremony of the tournament. Along with him, attending the ZDF programme, Chancellor Olaf Scholz is also said to deliver a speech. It will be through virtual mode for the audience at Dusseldorf. Founder Prince Harry will also be reportedly attending the ZDF’s flagship sports program. Accompanying him will be athletes from all corners of the world. 

Serving as a veteran in the Afghanistan tour since his days at the Royal Army, Prince Harry has been forever upfront with the games. Meghan Markle, too, has also been supportive of the Duke as always. 

When is Meghan Markle gracing Invictus Games with Prince Harry?

As per earlier records, the Duchess of Sussex will be joining the Duke on his Europe trip later towards the closing ceremony of the occasion. Reports have also claimed the Duchess or the First Lady of Invictus, as they call her, has planned something really special for the audience post the tournament comes to an end.

Along with all the pomp and show, there will be songstress Rita Ora, adding the silver lining to the Paralympic tournament of the year. Authorities have scheduled the games to unfold from September 9th to September 16th. Considering the vibrating enthusiasm for this year’s event, 500 participants from 21 countries are set to join the event.
