People reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent some time with the queen at Windsor Castle en route to the fifth Invictus Games at The Hague. Though it is the first time that the two have met with the queen since they decamped to California, Harry has made solo visits to the U.K. Back in April 2021, he returned home for his grandfather Prince Philip's funeral. Later that summer, he unveiled a statue of Princess Diana alongside his older brother, Prince William.

The games do have a special meaning for Sussexes. Not only did Harry serve in the military, the 2017 games, which were held in Toronto, marked the duo's first official appearance together. Meghan also attended the 2018 games in Sydney, just after she and Harry announced that they were expecting their first son, Archie.
