Ahead of their royal departure on March 31, Harry and Meghan carried out several public engagements. On 28 Feb., Harry and Jon Bon Jovi visited the Invictus Games Choir, and on 5 March, he and Meghan attended the Endeavour Fund Awards. On March 6, two days before International Women's Day, Meghan took a surprise trip to Robert Clack School in Dagenham, England, where she spoke to students about the holiday's significance. The same day, Harry and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton helped celebrate the opening of the Silverstone Experience museum, and on 7 March, he and Meghan made an appearance at the Mountbatten Music Festival at the Royal Albert Hall.
On 9 March, Harry and Meghan joined the royal family for the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey. They were expected to take part in the Invictus Games in May, but due to coronavirus concerns, the event was pushed back to 2021. The games were originally going to take place in The Hague, Netherlands. Now, Harry and Meghan are laying low but are using their platform to educate others about COVID-19. Meghan is also set to narrate Disneynature's upcoming documentary, Elephant, which will be released on 3 April on Disney+ and will follow an elephant family's 1,000-mile journey across Africa.
