Although they are no longer working royals, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan still know how a proper appearance works. In Düsseldorf, people wave graciously.
Red carpet rolled out
When the royals arrive, the red carpet will be rolled out – even if it’s a couple who no longer consider themselves part of the British royal family. Just two years ago, Harry and Meghan regularly walked red carpets. Such appearances by the two have become very rare since they moved to the USA.
But they haven’t forgotten it: holding hands – as they used to be seen performing together – they stride across the carpet in Düsseldorf.
The couple appears close to the people, shakes hands and talks to onlookers.
Position for the group picture
The reason for the visit to Düsseldorf is an affair of the heart for the prince: he is promoting the Invictus Games, the competitions for war-disabled soldiers, which will take place in a year’s time. To thank the city on the Rhine for hosting the competition, there was a group photo. The couple then signs their names in the city’s Golden Book.
beware of the Dog
The couple is greeted by this dog in front of the town hall, not cheering, but barking. Harry, actually used to dogs through his family, first carefully asks if the dog is friendly – only then does he move on.
The Invictus Games: Harry’s Affair
In his speech, Prince Harry invites all German citizens to follow the competitions for war veterans in the coming year. Based on his experience, he can assure you that the encounter with the participants of the Paralympic sports festival is extraordinarily intensive. “We can learn so much from them and also grow from it.” In their stories, however, one can often recognize oneself.
When the Queen’s grandson comes to North Rhine-Westphalia, the people of Düsseldorf rummage through their disguise boxes – one of them will definitely pull out a Queen mask. And so the monarch herself seems to be there in Düsseldorf.
