Sussexes’ first trip to Europe for two years... and handily Netf lix is there too!

THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their first public appearance together in Europe since Megxit yesterday as they broke cover at the Invictus Games – with a Netflix film crew in tow.

After the Daily Mail revealed details of their secret detour to Windsor to meet the Queen and Prince Charles, the couple arrived in the Netherland­s just ahead of the Games’ opening ceremony.

Pictures showed the Netflix film crew standing apart from the dozens of photograph­ers covering Harry and Meghan’s arrival at the Zuiderpark in The Hague.

The couple have signed a multi-million pound deal with the streaming giant, and a documentar­y about the Games – entitled Heart of Invictus – will be the first documentar­y series to be co-produced by Netflix with the Duke and Duchess’s own company, Archewell Production­s.

Last night, it was suggested the couple’s highly secretive meeting with the Queen may feature in the forthcomin­g documentar­y about the internatio­nal sporting event for injured or sick military personnel and veterans founded by Harry.

Meghan chose a crisp white suit by Valentino for a reception to welcome friends-and-family of the Games, wide legged trousers and a doublebrea­sted jacket. The blazer is currently on sale for £2,100, with the matching trousers costing a further £1,100. Meghan carried a clutch bag

which is also said to be from Valentino and is currently priced at £2,200. The couple walked into the event at the Zuiderpark in The Hague hand in hand, and were seen placing their hands on each other’s backs as they greeted people on what was their first joint appearance in Europe since they moved to California after they acrimoniou­sly quit as working royals in 2020.

Yesterday, the Mail revealed how Meghan and Harry had secretly flown into the UK on Wednesday, before travelling to see the Queen.

It is understood the couple flew from LA on a commercial airline along with their private bodyguards on Tuesday night, arriving on Wednesday afternoon and staying at Frogmore Cottage.

It is understood the Sussexes had at least one meeting with the Queen and also met with Harry’s estranged father, Prince Charles, who was at Windsor on Thursday morning to stand in for the monarch at the annual Royal Mandy service.

They flew out later that same day without a single photograph being taken, despite Harry’s ongoing legal action at the High Court in which he claims he does not feel safe bringing his family to the UK.

The Sussexes were applauded as they arrived at the reception yesterday. They are expected to appear at the opening ceremony today.
