Harry and Meghan to cheer Invictus Games, a year after their debut there as a couple

The flag of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games snapped and flapped Friday over Sydney’s iconic Harbor Bridge as Harry and his American wife, Duchess Meghan, prepared to preside over the competition for wounded warriors where they debuted as a couple a year ago in Toronto.

Harry, being Harry, climbed the bridge on Friday to send up the games flag. Meghan, being pregnant and due in the spring, did not. 

Plenty of tourists, royal or not, do it every year; Harry, 34, has done it before on previous visits to Sydney. He was accompanied by Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison and members of the Australian team on the three-hour long trudge up more than 1,000 steps on the back of one of the bridge arches, as Sydney traffic whizzed by below on the bridge road. 

Of course, Meghan, 37, may not have intended to climb regardless; she was not listed as doing do on the palace preview of their tour. Insanely scary though it seems to those with a fear of heights, bridge climbers get a spectacular view of a beautiful city and harbor, with the beloved Sydney Opera House as a backdrop. 

This time, Harry has brought his brainchild, the Invictus Games for mentally and physically wounded military veterans (founded in 2014), to Australia for a week of Olympic-style competition, with the sixth-in-line to the throne and his duchess to cheer them on.
