Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have a tight program on their three-day trip to Canada. On the first day the two went to the ski slopes.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan spent Valentine’s Day on February 14th doing winter sports. The two arrived in British Columbia, Canada, on Wednesday. They traveled from their adopted home in California on a private jet to begin preparations for the first Winter Invictus Games next year. The couple spent the first of three days on the ski slopes.
Hand in hand, Harry and Meghan made their way to the training camp. The 42-year-old wore a light winter outfit consisting of white jeans, a cream-white knitted sweater, a beige down coat and gray winter boots with laces and a fur look. She paired it with a black bobble hat and her hair was wavy.
Harry, on the other hand, chose casual jeans, with which he wore a black winter jacket, a gray knitted hat and brown outdoor shoes. The two greeted the veterans, helpers and athletes, shaking their hands or hugging them. The royal then tried his hand at Paralympic alpine skiing, which will be one of the sports categories at the Winter Invictus Games. Many winter sports enthusiasts watched the event on the slopes. There are now several videos on social media.
In it, Harry can be seen sitting on the para-skis with his helmet, ski goggles and ski poles, while directly behind him another skier is helping to steer. Once at the bottom, the spectators applaud Duchess Meghan, who also filmed her husband’s first attempt to drive with her cell phone.
Harry and Meghan will stay in Canada for a total of three days. The pair will also meet with members of the international Invictus community at the winter training camp over the next two days. They want to speak on site with the team managers, coaches and competitors who will be at the official Invictus Games, which will take place in Vancouver and Whistler in February 2025. Last year the competition took place in Düsseldorf, Germany.
