At the commencement of the 2025 Invictus Games, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared a tender moment with a kiss, just before his speech. Their affectionate interaction drew varied reactions online, warming the hearts of supporters while inciting criticism from detractors. However, the couple’s display couldn’t divert attention from Harry’s noticeably thinning hair. Once viewed as the brother with the better hair, he now faces comparisons to his nearly bald sibling, Prince William.

While genes contribute to the hair loss seen in both princes, some speculate Harry may have incurred a bit of karmic retribution for comments made in his memoir regarding William’s hair. In “Spare,” Harry slyly remarked on William’s hair loss, describing it as “alarming” and more advanced than his own. His book, which also touches on their fraught relationship and a peculiar dispute over facial hair, fueled a great deal of conversation about the brothers.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ignited discussions
Although Meghan Markle did not speak at the 2025 Invictus Games, she expressed admiration for Prince Harry’s efforts to the athletes prior to the event. “These games mean a lot to him,” she stated at the welcome reception (via People). She emphasized how much Harry cares for the athletes and introduced him with pride, highlighting their children cheering from afar in California.
Amidst the celebrations, Prince Harry playfully photobombed Meghan’s Instagram clip with singer Nelly Furtado, who was performing at the event. As Meghan posed with Nelly, Harry humorously walked in the background, prompting laughter from both women. This moment was shared online, garnering significant likes and cheerful comments from attendees.
