TORONTO (AP) – Prince Harry’s girlfriend, American actress Meghan Markle, is sitting in the stands for Saturday’s opening ceremony of his Invictus Games for wounded veterans in her first public appearance at a large event with him.
Markle lives in Toronto, but hadn’t appeared with Harry since he arrived in the city. She recently told Vanity Fair they’re in love.
They were not sitting together in the stands of the Air Canada Centre. They were about four rows apart but Harry looked over at her when the Canadian anthem played. A security guard blocked at least one fan from taking pictures of Markle, who sat with an unidentified man.
Markle, 36, was wearing a brown leather jacket over a dark dress. She is known for her portrayal of a paralegal in the television show “Suits.”
The Invictus Games are the creation of Prince Harry, who got the inspiration to help wounded and sick military personnel and their families after his two tours of duty in Afghanistan. This is the third Invictus Games.
