The Duke and Duchess of Sussex face Invictus Games shock after Prince William big announcement

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have seemingly taken a “step back” from Invictus Games after Prince William’s video statement.

The Duke and Duchess will kick off Invictus Games ceremony at BC Place Vancouver, Canada on February 8, 2025.

A source told UK Express that the royal couple will make a joint appearance at the ceremony as their “PR strategy.”

“There will be a renewed focus on the Sussexes as a couple, as a brand and showcasing them as a couple and family. It was important for the Sussexes to appear together at such a worthwhile event,” the insider shared.

On Tuesday, William visited a Lower Blakemere Farm and released a video of his public appearance.

After the Prince of Wales’ video message came, a tipster told the media outlet that “The Sussexes have decided to step back a little.”

The Invictus Games 2025 also made an announcement about the tickets, “Tickets are now on sale! Get ready to celebrate with Multi-Platinum, Global Pop Superstar Katy Perry, GRAMMY-Award Nominated, Multi-Platinum Artist Noah Kahan, BC-born Canadian icon Nelly Furtado, Quebec alt-pop star Roxane Bruneau.”

Notably, the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games will feature Jelly Roll and pop band Barenaked Ladies.
