Royal fans rejoice; we’re about to get another glimpse of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in their new lives away from the royal family.

It’s just been confirmed that the Duchess of Sussex will accompany her husband for a series of public engagements at the Invictus Games in the Netherlands this week.

The games will run in the Hague for two weeks, starting on April 16, and Meghan is expected to join him for the first few days of the competition, a spokesperson confirmed to Town and Country Magazine.

This will be the first time Meghan has returned to Europe since she and Harry quit their roles as senior royals in 2020, though he has returned to the UK twice.

But the question on everyone’s lips is, of course; will they bring their children?

Archie’s third birthday is just days away, while Lilibet will be turning one in June and royal fans are as eager as ever for another glimpse of the two young royals.

But they may be disappointed this time, as it’s understood Harry and Meghan will not be bringing their two young children to the Netherlands with them.

Instead, the children are expected to remain at the Sussex’s California home, where Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland often babysits the children.

Still, royal fans are hopeful that the duke and duchess will release a new photo of Archie for his birthday on May 6, just days after the Invictus Games conclude.

Harry established the Invictus Games for wounded service members in 2014 and is excited to finally be able to hold the postponed 2022 games.

But it was the 2017 games that are arguably the most memorable, as it was there that Harry and Meghan first went public with their romance.

Hosted in Toronto, where the duchess was filming TV drama Suits, it was her first appearance at an official engagement with Harry and confirmed rumours that the pair were an item.

Just a few months later the couple announced their engagement and they wed in a lavish royal ceremony in May 2018 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

In the years that followed Meghan made several Invictus Games appearances alongside her husband, including at the Sydney games in 2018.

“On a very personal note, I just wanted to thank all of you for welcoming me into the Invictus family,” she told the crowd, just days after announcing she and Harry were expecting their first child.

Now their son is about to turn three and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will return to the Invictus Games in what is sure to be a poignant full-circle moment.
