MEGHAN last night risked the wrath of the Royal Family hailing her and Prince Harry’s “service”.

The barbed comment, re­calling Megxit, came as she kissed her husband on stage at the Invictus Games opening in the Netherlands.

Meghan told competitors: “This is service.”

Last year the Queen confirmed after the couple stepped back from royal life that they would not “continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service”.

In response, Harry and Meghan had issued a terse statement: “We can all live a life of service. Service is ­universal.

And last night, Meghan told the ex-military heroes at the games set up by Harry: “Thank you so much for your service and thank you to all the family and friends that are here who have been supporting you along the way.

"Because this is service, this is dedication and this is the In­victus family.”

Ingrid Seward, royal commentator and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, called it “an interesting choice of words”.

She added: “It’s evocative language and perhaps is slightly barbed. There’s definitely a little innuendo there.”
