\n\t\t\tPrince Harry and Meghan Markle have always been proponents of giving back. Charity has played a huge part in their relationship, both while they were senior members of the British royal family and since they announced their decision to step back in January 2020. Two years before Harry met Meghan in 2016, he organized the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During the visit, Markle was gifted a painting, hand-knitted animals, and matching beaded earrings and a necklace from local artists. Meanwhile, the Ministry of National Defense Veterans gave Prince Harry a commemorative plaque to recognize his ongoing strong support of the Invictus Games.<\/p>\n

The Prince has been the patron of the multisport event since it launched in March, 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex,\u201d read an athlete while presenting the gift to the Duke. \u201cIn recognition and gratitude for your dedication and invaluable opportunities for recovery through sports and the Invictus Games for Colombian wounded, injured, and sick Armed Forces and Police Personnel, serving or veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as watching the Colombian athletes train, the Sussexes<\/a> toured the facilities, which included a swimming pool, rock climbing wall gym and rehabilitation space.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Markle spoke to many of the athletes, including a group of Korean War Veterans, about everything from their favorite workouts to the methods they use to stay strong. At one point, the Prince even joined in on a volleyball game as Markle cheered from the sidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to see how many people can come together to form one team,\u201d Prince Harry said, while Markle was just as impressed, adding, \u201cThey are all so incredible to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
