Time with the Invictus community
After their visit to Bondi, Meghan Markle and Harry spent time with Invictus competitors and their families during a sailing outing on Sydney Harbour.
The couple joined veterans and their loved ones aboard several boats, chatting and sharing stories while taking in views of the harbour and city skyline. The relaxed gathering offered an opportunity to connect with members of the Invictus community in a more informal setting.
A sporting finale in Sydney
The final engagement of the day took place at Allianz Stadium, where Meghan Markle and Harry attended the Super Rugby Pacific match between the NSW Waratahs and Moana Pasifika.
Following the game, the couple met players from both teams and spoke with them about the role sport plays in bringing people together.
