Prince Harry and Meghan Markle swig beer at Invictus volleyball final as they celebrate Duke’s 39th birthday in style

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle knocked back beer at the Invictus Games as the Duke celebrated his birthday in style.

They were joined by Veteran's Minister Johnny Mercer at the volleyball final as Harry turned 39 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

After it was announced it was the Duke's special day, the crowd sang Happy Birthday in English and German.

Embarrassed Harry was dragged on to the court ,where he fist-bumped the games mascot before being given a cake.

It featured a miniature figure with ginger hair.

As the game got underway the crowd were seen jumping out of their seats with excitement as Poland battled it out against Colombia.

But it appeared all too much for Meghan who burst into tears as she handed medal to winners Poland.

The couple also attended a reception hosted by the Canadian delegation to promote the 2025 Invictus Games that will feature winter sports for the first time.

Harry celebrated his birthday with a dinner at a traditional German restaurant last night.

The Duke and Duchess, alongside Archewell aides, devoured blood sausages and Wiener Schnitzel at Im Goldenen Kessel in Düsseldorf.

They also gorged on plates of Bratwurst sausage, red cabbage, and mashed potato while sitting in a public rather than VIP area.

The pair and the dozen aides laughed, joked and made several toasts as the food arrived at the table.

The Duke is said to have "tipped very well" following the dinner, which a source told was a "family meal".

Owner Thea Ungermann said she had "goosebumps" when the Sussexes rolled in for their evening of traditional German fayre.

And "lovely" Harry even gave her a hug.

She added: "The couple were very relaxed. Harry and Meghan sat next to each other during the meal."

The party drank Schumacher Alt, the same beer being served at the Invictus Games, which Harry is currently hosting in the city.
