The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to speak at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games on Saturday night.
Harry and Megan will address viewers, including members of the Dutch royal family and the Dutch prime minister, at a television event in The Hague.
The couple appeared at The Zuiderpark in The Hague after a staged meeting with the Queen and Prince of Wales in Windsor on Thursday, the Duchess’s first trip back to Europe since leaving official royal life.
The film crew accompanies Harry and Megan to the games as part of the upcoming Netflix documentary Heart of Invictus. This is the first show of their $ 100 million (£ 76.5 million) deal with the streaming company and is being produced by Archewell Productions, the royal couple’s recently launched television production company.
The documentary will see behind-the-scenes athletes competing in the Invictus Games, an international sporting event founded by Prince Harry for wounded, wounded and sick servicemen and women.
The manager of the Invictus Games Ukraine team, 39-year-old Oksana Horbach, will appear in the documentary. Horbach, who is in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and works with food supply chains in Kyiv, said: “I talked to Megan about the importance of having a voice and she fully understood that – be heard, be loud, have a voice, just tell your your own truth, your experience. It is very important for her.
“And she told me that it is something that they deeply support, wholeheartedly, to have this platform, the Invictus Games platform, for the nations, especially for Ukraine, to have that voice.
While in the Netherlands, the couple is said to have VVIP status and Dutch police protection. They cite security concerns as the reason they were absent from the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial service in London last month.
Harry is suing the Home Office after he was told he would no longer receive the same level of personal protection when visiting the United States, although he offered to pay for it himself.
The duke wants to bring his children to visit, but he and his family “cannot return to his home” because it is too dangerous, his legal representative said.
The opening ceremony of the Invictus Games will be shown on the BBC.
