The Invictus Games, which Prince Harry founded in 2014, will take place in Sydney during the trip, from October 20th to 27th. The games are an international sports competition for wounded veterans around the world.

The great footballer David Beckham has recently been named ambassador of this year's games, so he will be there to welcome the couple.

Last year, during the games that took place in Toronto, Harry and Meghan made their official debut together (and even shared a kiss in public), and former President Barack Obama and vice-president President Joe Biden stopped.
