The couple were pictured walking hand-in-hand towards a friends-and-family reception at the Zuiderpark, where the games are being held.

They were both seen beaming as they greeted competitors and officials, having not been this side of the Atlantic together since 2020.

Meghan, 40, dazzled in a white Valentino suit and matching shoes — a day after the couple’s extraordinary meeting at Windsor Castle.

The couple’s Netflix crew were also in tow, standing apart from the dozens of photographers covering the arrival.

The Sussexes, holding hands, emerged into the sports campus at the Zuiderpark, in The Hague, shortly after 5.30pm local time.

Meghan walked behind her husband and they were joined by Dutch competitors and their families. She then removed her camel-coloured jacket and offered it to a mum carrying a baby.

It left her clad all in white, with an oversized £2,100 Valentino blazer, matching £1,100 flared trousers, plus a pair of £810 white Aquazzura heels.

Harry and Meghan last year signed a mega Netflix deal said to be worth £112million.

Their first Netflix project was announced as an Invictus Games documentary with an Oscar-winning production team.

The Sussexes flew to the Netherlands for the Games, which take place between April 16 and 22, and are expected to be followed by a camera crew throughout their trip.

But critics have accused them of “cashing in” on the event and “exploiting” Her Majesty by allowing filmmakers into private meetings.

Royal commentator Tom Bower told after the couple’s hush-hush talks yesterday: “I have no doubt it was all done for their Netflix documentary.

“The Queen’s advisers failed to protect her from being exploited by the Royal Family’s worst traducers, while the Sussexes exploited an old, unwell woman to boost their credibility and coffers.”

Harry and Meg met with Her Majesty and Charles as part of their whistle-stop tour to Windsor Castle – their first British trip together since Megxit.

They arrived just weeks after snubbing Prince Philip’s memorial service.

But it is not known if the couple brought their son Archie, two, and 11-month-old daughter Lilibet — who the Queen has never met.

Harry and Meghan are said to have been given “VVIP” status by Dutch police for their visit, and are reportedly being guarded by a “high-level multi-agency protection programme”.
