Both the prince and his lady are in Toronto attending the Invictus Games in its third season. The first Invictus Games, based on the Paralympic Games, were held in September 2014 in London. They were launched by Prince Harry, who served with the British Army in Afghanistan. He was inspired to create the Games, in order to help wounded and sick military personnel and their families.
The couple has been photographed together in the past but this is the first time they have appeared together at an official event. Their relationship news thickened after the actress in an interview to magazine Variety went on record to say: "We're two people who are really happy and in love."
Prince Harry has been dating Markle since last year.
