The contest, which is a Paralympic-style event for servicemen and women, was founded by the Prince and it will take place between September 9-16 – just one day after the first anniversary of the late Queen’s death.

In 2022, Meghan introduced Harry and paid a special tribute to her husband during the opening ceremony in Hague.

This time, the former Suits star will be closing out the two-week event and will address the crowd with a “very emotional” closing speech with Harry, reported The Mirror.

The royal and former member of the British Army created the adaptive sports games almost a decade ago in honour of wounded veterans.

Harry has dedicated much of his time to it ever since and the couple even made their first official public appearance together at the Toronto Games in 2017.

The eyes of the world will be on the games next month as it marks the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first appearance together in public for a number of months.

On Wednesday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a video together on their Archewell Foundation website.

The clip saw the duo congratulate the lucky members of The Archewell Foundation on their award as members of the Youth Power Fund advisory committee.

Last year, the couple visited the city for an official launch event for the contest.

While there, they met with a number of officials and potential competitors, as well as members of the athletes’ friends and family.

In 2014, Harry played an instrumental role in bringing the Games to the UK with 300 competitors from 13 countries participating in the event. It was the first of its kind and was held in London.
