Meghan Markle and Prince Harry brought fans to tears in their first public appearance since missing Prince Philip’s memorial.
Prince Harry’s wife has spoken of her “heartbreak” following the death of a close friend, Oli Juste, a dog trainer who first introduced her to the Mayhew animal charity which she later became a patron of.
In her letter The Duchess of Sussex, lamented that his death had left her “heartbroken and reflective”, adding: “We shared, amongst many things, a commitment to animal welfare, and a deep love of rescue dogs.”
The heartfelt letter of Meghan Markle comes after Prince Harry addressed the Invictus Games competitors, marking his first public appearance since missing Prince Philip’s memorial service.
The Duke of Sussex has left competitors for the upcoming Invictus Games nearly in tears after he surprised them with a video call from his home in California.
The room erupted into laughter when the Duke of Sussex teased competitors over the time they’ve had to prepare for the Games, which were last held in 2019.
The athletes were surprised by the call from the Duke, with vice-captain Kelly Leonard saying: “I was nearly in tears when he gave us a team talk. It was really rousing. The message was about what Invictus is about, that resilience and that journey. It was really wonderful to see him.”
“You realise that no-one, not just you guys, no-one’s got any excuses for not being fit now,” he teased. The event took place at a final training camp for those involved before the Games take place in the Netherlands during April.
