Meghan Markle debuts at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games with a significantly slimmer frame

Meghan Markle stole the spotlight this week as she attended the Invictus Games in Germany with her husband Prince Harry.

But it was more than the Duchess of Sussex’s designer wardrobe that caught the world’s attention, as fans noticed that she looked noticeably slimmer than she did at last year’s event.

The former actress, 42, made her first appearance at the Games on Wednesday, showing off her noticeably slimmer legs in a pair of Staud shorts teamed with a J.Crew cardigan that hugged her petite figure.

She later changed into a black sleeveless top and black skinny jeans that accentuated her slim arms and legs.

Meghan’s appearance in Düsseldorf on Wednesday is significantly different from her look at the previous Invictus Games, which took place in The Hague in April 2022.

Although the mother of two hasn’t publicly addressed the reason for her recent weight loss, she has previously spoken about how she stays fit through yoga. (Pictured left at the previous Invictus Games in April 2022 and right at the 2023 event on Wednesday)

“I was very resistant as a kid, but she said, ‘Flower, you’ll find your practice – just give it time.’ I started doing it more regularly in college.”

In the Netflix documentary series about her life after splitting from the royal family and the couple’s new stays in California, Meghan also gave a glimpse into her yoga routine.

“In my opinion, there’s honestly nothing as delicious or as impressive as perfectly fried chicken,” she said.

“It’s a game changer. I bring this to dinner parties and make a lot of friends.”

Megan subsequently told the BBC in 2016 that she was in the middle of cooking a roast chicken when Prince Harry got down on one knee to propose.

She also showed off her cooking skills in 2023 by contributing a recipe for lemon and olive oil cake to a charity cookbook.

The book, titled “The World Central Kitchen Cookbook: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope,” was part of a collection of recipes selected by Spanish-born chef José Andrés.
