Meghan adds her signature to the wall honoring veterans, inches above the fan’s giant Diana message, as she wows the crowd on a busy day at Invictus Games
- The tribute wall is full of colorful signatures and congratulatory messages
On day six of the Invictus Games, Meghan Markle adds her signature to a huge tribute wall full of names – choosing to place hers directly above a giant ‘Diana’ message.
The famous ‘M’ of the duchesses is located near where a fan has already written the name of the late Princess of Wales.
In the early days of her acting career, Meghan made extra money through calligraphy – this is evident in the glow used to write her swirly ‘M’ today.
The wall seems to be covered with colorful signatures, congratulations and encouragement from those present and participating in the competition.
One reads: ‘Bonne Chance’ means ‘good luck’ in French – while another says: ‘We can’t wait to welcome you all in 2025!’
Earlier today, Meghan and Harry attended a reception hosted by the Canadian delegation to promote the 2025 Invictus Games, which will feature winter sports for the first time.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex chatted with members of the committee that will organize the games in Vancouver.
The governments of Canada and British Columbia have pledged to spend almost £20 million to host the Games in February 2025.
And for the first time, adaptive winter sports such as alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and curling will be included in the program of week-long events hosted in the seaside town of Whistler.
Officials have said local indigenous people are being consulted on the planning of the games.
For the reception, Meghan wore a sleeveless gray dress, one of three outfits she wore today.
Meghan’s first look of the day was a muted outfit. She wore a matching cream playsuit from Zara and a blazer from Celine as she signed her initial.
Her last look worn during the volleyball final was a flowing navy blue shirt dress.
The many outfit changes may have to do with the fact that it was a special day: the duke’s 39th birthday.
After it was announced that it was Harry’s birthday during a sitting volleyball match, the crowd sang Happy Birthday in English and German.

Harry clapped along and smiled alongside the Duchess – before saying ‘thank you’ to the onlookers.
He was led to the court, where he fist bumped the game’s mascot named Teddy in front of a cake featuring a miniature figure with red hair.
Harry was later presented with a birthday cake by the mayor of Düsseldorf, Dr. Stephen Keller. The cake was in the colors of the Invictus Games with the words: ‘Happy Birthday Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex.’
Last night the couple celebrated with bratwurst sausages, wiener schnitzels and beer at a traditional German bar.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoyed a night out in Dusseldorf with friends as the Invictus Games draw to a close.
Bar staff said the royals were ‘delicious’ and left a ‘big tip’ as they enjoyed plates full of red cabbage and mashed potatoes. While Harry celebrated with six pints, his wife stuck to just one small drink.
