The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have attended a National Hockey League game in Vancouver, Canada.

Prince Harry was pictured dropping the puck for Tomas Hertl from the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks’ Quinn Hughes during a ceremonial face-off before the whistle.

The duke joined his wife, Meghan Markle, in the stands as they watched the Canucks win 3-1 over the Californian team.

The Invictus Games, the international multisport event for wounded, injured and sick armed forces personnel that the duke founded in 2014, will be held in Vancouver and Whistler in 2025.

The couple appeared in public together for the first time at the Toronto Invictus Games in 2017.

Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, made the ceremonial puck drop at a 2002 match, also between Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks, during her two-week golden jubilee tour of Canada.

It was the first NHL game the Queen had attended since 1951 when, still a princess, she and husband Prince Philip watched Montreal Canadiens take on New York Rangers.

The Sussexes’ sporting outing came a few days after Meghan’s surprise arrival at the Variety Power Of Women event in Los Angeles to celebrate the accomplishments of women in entertainment.

The former Suits actor said she was “thrilled” to have returned to the entertainment industry with Archewell Productions and was “really proud” of the projects they had created so far, including docu-series Harry and Meghan and Heart Of Invictus.

“We have so many exciting things on the slate,” she said, teasing future projects

“I can’t wait until we can announce them, but I’m just really proud of what we’re creating.”
