Raise your hands in the heir! Beaming Harry and Meghan bring the party to Invictus Games as Duke and

Meghan Markle was given a rock star welcome at the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf today as she made her first appearance at a sports event with Prince Harry . Crowds leapt to their feet to cheer and applaud the Duchess of Sussex who seemed taken aback by the rapturous welcome and took her seat in the Merkur Spiel-Arena. Dressed casually in J Crew sweater and shorts and Chanel flat pumps, the 42-year-old mother-of-two beamed with delight and waved to the crowd and punched her hands in the air, hugging supporters of the Australian team seated in her row. Harry, who has been happily posing for dozens of selfies with fans, took a back seat this morning as most people in the crowd wanted to be photographed with Meghan. Following her impromptu speech at an Invictus Games party for 1,600 people where she apologised for her late arrival at the competition yesterday, a buzz of excitement had gone around the games today that she would be making her debut appearance. More than 2,000 schoolchildren were invited to the fourth day and had been talking excitedly about Meghan. The couple - whose two young children are back home in Montecito, California - watched a wheelchair match between Australia and Ukraine.
