It was in 2014 that the son of King Charles III and Princess Diana founded this event which are literally international games in favor of soldiers and veterans, he who once fought in the English army. This year, more than 500 athletes responded to the call and are competing in ten different disciplines, namely rowing, swimming, doubles table tennis, cycling, archery, athletics, weightlifting, sitting volleyball, basketball. wheelchair ball and wheelchair rugby.
If he arrived alone in Dusseldorf (Germany) where the event is taking place this year, he was quickly joined by his wife Meghan Markle who arrived in Europe this Tuesday, September 12, 2023. The pretty brunette explained that she arrived a little late because she had to take care of their children Archie and Lilibet, who remained in California. “It’s so special to be here, and I’m so sorry I’m a little late to the party […] We can’t wait to bring our kids too so they can experience how awesome it is.” she declared during a speech given during the Family & Friends Partyan evening organized for the families of athletes participating in the Invictus Games.

In the photos taken during the different moments of the event, we see at a glance that Meghan Markle is not wearing her engagement ring, the famous three-stone ring that Prince Harry gave her when he proposed. Prince William’s little brother also designed this ring with the help of Cleave & Companynamely the usual jeweler of Queen Elizabeth II and we know that the jewel includes a large central cushion-cut diamond from Botswana – where Meghan and Harry spent time together early in their relationship – as well as two side stones from the jewelry collection of the late Princess Diana.

If Meghan Markle wore the ring for several months after their engagement, we learn that she then made some improvements. In 2019, she replaced the ring’s original gold band with a thin micro-pavé band. According to information from People magazine, if the pretty 42-year-old brunette is not wearing her engagement ring at the moment, it is simply because it is being repaired after a setting came loose.
During the Invictus Games, the Duchess of Sussex wore her wedding ring in Welsh gold, a tradition for the royal family, which has used pure gold for its wedding rings since the Queen Mother’s marriage in 1923. The mother also wore her eternity ring, a piece of jewelry with a diamond forming an infinite loop around the band, which she began wearing in 2019, after the birth of her son Archie.
