Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ready for the 2023 Invictus Games! After attending a kickoff event [1] for the annual sports competition [2] in Düsseldorf, Germany, in September, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex [3] appeared in a new Invictus Games promo video in which they face off against each other in a fun game of ping-pong.
"Are you ready? The incredible experience that is the #InvictusGames is coming ever closer," the Invictus Games captioned the clip, which also spotlights several of its competitors. "Be a part of it to experience the power of sport in recovery in Düsseldorf 9-16 Sept 2023. Tickets for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies are now available!"

The 2023 Invictus Games will officially launch in Düsseldorf on 9 Sept., 2023, and will run until Sept. 16, 2023. The seven-day event honours wounded service members and veterans and holds a special place in Harry's heart, as he founded the Games after serving in Afghanistan [9]. The Invictus Games are also where Harry and Markle first crossed paths [10] in 2016. At the time, Harry was launching the 2017 event in Toronto, where Markle was filming her show "Suits."
