Meghan Markle and Nelly Furtado’s playful video with Prince Harry highlights Invictus Games 2025’s spirited opening in Vancouver.
What mischief did Meghan and Nelly get into backstage?
Meghan Markle and Nelly Furtado turned the Invictus Games’ backstage into their playful playground!
In a viral video posted February 8, the duo giggled while posing dramatically—until Prince Harry swooped in wearing a mock-serious face, cracking them up.
Set to Furtado’s I’m Like a Bird, the clip screamed pure, unfiltered joy. “They’re beautiful 💞,” Furtado captioned, tagging Meghan’s new Instagram.
How did Harry crash their girls’ moment?
Mid-laugh, Harry stealthily appeared behind them like a royal ninja, deadpanning for the camera. The Duke’s cameo? Priceless.
“Respectfully, I disagree…” he’d later say in his speech, but here, he was just a husband photobombing his wife’s superstar hang.
What made Invictus’ opening ceremony unforgettable?
Furtado headlined with a bang, belting hits alongside Mattmac, a blind producer, and ILL-Abilities’ breakdancers.
Chris Martin, Katy Perry, and Noah Kahan also lit up Vancouver’s BC Place—proving the Games aren’t just sports, but a vibe.
Why did Harry’s speech hit so deep?
“Invictus didn’t save you. You saved yourself,” Harry declared, honoring veterans’ resilience.
His words cut through the glitter: true magic lies in grit, not glory. Ten years post-founding Invictus, his fire? Still blazing.
What’s next for the 2025 Games?
The competition rocks Vancouver-Whistler until February 16.
Between adaptive sports and A-list beats, this year’s theme’s clear: courage doesn’t fold. And neither does this squad’s flair for fun.
