But now, it has been revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will make an appearance at the Invictus Games in the Netherlands in May.

The Invictus Games is a multi-sport event for wounded or sick armed service personal. Harry created the event and having served in the armed forces himself, it is a cause that is very close to his heart.

This appearance comes after news that the couple will longer carry out royal duties on behalf of the Queen from March 31.
