It’s been almost two weeks since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle touched down in Australia. Now the royal couple are heading to New Zealand for the final leg of their tour.
The pair will board a 9.55am Royal New Zealand Air Force flight to Wellington with the Kiwi Invictus team.
Despite being pregnant, the former Suits actress has managed to attend more than 60 engagements on a rather whirlwind visit.
The royal couple will spend three full days in New Zealand.
The Duchess Of Sussex stole the show last night during a speech at the Invictus Games closing ceremony.
“It has been such an honour being here, supporting you and supporting my husband at the Invictus Games which he started four years ago,” she said to cheers.
“On a very personal note I want to thank you all for welcoming me into the Invictus family,”
“I’m not sure if many of you know this but a few years ago, before I met my husband, I had the incredible honour of meeting troops deployed all over the world from the UK, Afghanistan and several other countries.
“In travelling to these military bases, I was given a very special glimpse into the lives of those who serve our countries. I was able to see the unshakeable bond between servicemen and women on the ground together, but at the same time to feel the palpable longing for family and friends while deployed. Once home, the need for that anchor of support from loved ones, especially given how much it accelerates recovery and rebilltation is immeasurable. I’ve been reminded of those memories here.”
