Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a joint statement ahead of their highly anticipated appearance at the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada, marking a significant moment in their public life.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared the message via their Archewell Foundation in celebration of Black History Month.
In their statement, the couple emphasized the importance of honoring the rich culture and history of Black communities, stating, “At The Archewell Foundation, we celebrate the rich culture and contributions of those who have come before us throughout history.”
They further encouraged the public to reflect on the legacies of leaders, activists, and changemakers who have been instrumental in shaping progress.
"Taking the time to appreciate stories, art, history, and culture not only honors the communities that have built these spaces, but also contributes to our collective wellbeing," they added.
The statement comes as the Sussexes prepare for their joint appearance at the Invictus Games, an event closely tied to Harry's legacy. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will accompany Harry on this trip to Canada, dispelling recent rumors suggesting a professional split between the two.
According to sources close to the couple, the appearance is part of a broader strategy to re-establish them as a unified brand. “There will be a renewed focus on the Sussexes as a couple, as a brand, and showcasing them as a couple and family,” the insider noted.
This appearance at the Invictus Games, a major initiative founded by Harry, reflects the couple’s long-term commitment to the event. The Games hold personal significance for the Duke, and he has expressed the desire for their children to continue the work once they are older.
