Duchess of Sussex Cheers for Nigeria at Invictus Games

Harry’s Announcement The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, made an announcement at the opening of the Invictus Games held at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf. He revealed that his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, will be cheering for Team Nigeria at this year’s event. Prince Harry emphasized that while they don’t “play favorites,” Meghan’s discovery of her Nigerian heritage is likely to make their friendly competition a bit more intense.

Celebrating New Nations Prince Harry expressed excitement about the inclusion of new nations in the Invictus Games. He specifically mentioned Colombia, Israel, and Nigeria as the new participants. While not explicitly favoring any team, he humorously alluded to Meghan’s Nigerian heritage as a potential source of increased competitiveness between them.
