    After kissing Prince Harry on stage at a pre-launch event, Meghan Markle accompanied her husband throughout the first day of the Invictus Games 2025. Having worn a sleek, chocolate brown, A.L.C. "Willow" pleated dress to her first engagement, Duchess Meghan wore two very different coats to subsequent events in Vancouver, Canada.

    Royal fans were delighted to have a 6-year-old mystery finally solved when Meghan and Harry attended a National Hockey League game at Rogers Arena. To watch the Vancouver Canucks play, Meghan rewore a coat she debuted upon her arrival in Australia for her 2018 royal tour alongside Prince Harry.

    The chic burgundy and black wool coat had previously gone unidentified, but was revealed to be from Givenchy by Town & Country editor Emily Burack and Instagram account @meghansclosetchronicles.

    Prior to attending the hockey game, Meghan and Harry launched the Invictus Games 2025 at the event's opening ceremony. A plethora of famous musicians performed at the event, including Katy Perry and Coldplay.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle watched from the stands, with the Duchess of Sussex beaming with pride at her husband. Harry, of course, founded the Invictus Games in 2014, as a way to encourage injured service people to take part in sporting events. Duchess Meghan could be seen filming her husband during the ceremony, leaning her head on his shoulder, and kissing him. The couple also met contenders and their families backstage.

    To launch this year's Invictus Games, Meghan wore Sentaler's Baby Alpaca Long Wide-Collar Wrap Coat in ivory.
