This Adorable Video of Meghan Markle Greeting Fans at the Invictus Games Is the Serotonin We All Needed
Whether or not you’re a big fan of Meghan Markle, you know she’s been through a lot these past few years. From giving up her acting career to then stepping down from her senior royal role in 2020, Markle has been through a whirlwind these past few years. And, unfortunately, she’s been criticized and scrutinized every step of the way. So, knowing how much Markle’s had to endure, its always refreshing to see her happy, care-free and receiving some love from fans.
In a new video going viral on TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter), Markle can be seen greeting some fans at the stands on Day Four of Prince Harry‘s Invictus Games. In the beginning of the short clip, Markle is seen taking pictures alongside Harry and some veteran athletes. After some pictures, the royal couple walk off the court holding hands when Markle spots a few girls in the stands screaming to get her attention.
Markle then points to them and she whispers to Harry and proceeds to let go of his hand and run to the girls to greet them. As she approaches them with an ear-to-ear smile she shakes hands with each of them and then takes a picture while holding on to one of them. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime kind of photo!
“I love her so much,” the TikTok user wrote in the caption for the video.
In the comments, fans of the Duchess are as relieved as we were to see her so happy. “The Queen of Hearts! Prince Harry’s beautiful wife & supporter ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” wrote one user. “Honest [and] warm. She is the REAL ONE.????????” wrote another. “Love her ???? those British people and press who don’t must be nuts! Obvious she’s a genuinely nice person,” added another fan.
Markle’s joyous appearance happened during Day Four of her husband’s beloved Invictus Games, an adaptive sports competition for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans.
During Day Three, Markle made her 2023 Invictus debut and even gave a speech to the crowd explaining her late arrival.
“It is so special to be here, and I’m so sorry that I was a little late for the party,” she began. “Just like so many of you, we know this is about family and friends and the community that Invictus has created, that Fischer House has created, and so I had to just spend a little bit more time getting our little ones settled home.” Markle and Harry share kids Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.
Markle continued, “Getting milkshakes, doing school drop off, and then I just landed a couple of hours ago. I am thrilled that the first event that I can do with Invictus is here with all of you.” We’re just glad she’s there!
