Invictus Games: Netflix crew run around after Harry and Meghan

Harry and Meghan’s Netflix film crew couldn’t let a good moment go to waste, as they frantically scampered after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex while they met injured military veterans and hitched a rid on mini Land Rovers on the first day of the Invictus Games today.

The royal couple were all smiles as they dressed down for their second appearance at The Hague in Holland, with Meghan swapping out a crisp white pant suit for blue jeans, a dark box jacket and pump shows while Harry wore a black T shirt and chinos.

A large group of Americans in the crowd called out to the duchess and she responded with a smile and wave, with shouts of ‘Meghan, over here’ from spectators hoping to get her attention heard as she walked with other dignitaries to the centre of the course.

She then watched as Harry was driven in a white Land Rover through a water obstacle on the course during The Land Rover Driving Challenge.  

Later Meghan and Harry showed larked about as they hitched a ride on the back of two mini Land Rovers driven by children. The duke pumped his fists in the air as he was driven round the small course in the toy-style car by Scarlett Vroegop, the four-year-old daughter of a Dutch competitor at the Invictus Games. Meanwhile Meghan and giggled and waved at fans as she was driven by four-year-old Mya Poirot, who is also the daughter of a French competitor, while clutching a Canadian flag.     

The couple then posed for photos with family members of the two kiddie drivers. After chatting with other competitors, the couple were driven away in a Land Rover defender.

Meghan will do a reading of her children’s picture book The Bench tomorrow before flying back to her £11million Californian mansion.

But it seems the royal couple couldn’t go anywhere without being followed by a Netflix camera crew filming their every move for an upcoming documentary with the streaming giant about the Games – including their meet-and-greet at the Zuiderpark.

Critics have accused the couple of ‘cashing in’ on the Games by allowing Netflix, with whom they have signed a $100million deal, into private meetings.

Some fear they are also ‘exploiting the Queen’, saying their top secret trip on Thursday for ‘clear the air talks’ with the elderly monarch and Prince Charles at Windsor Castle was to please their American producers and ‘spin’ their side of the row.   

The Games mark the couple’s first public return to Europe since they acrimoniously quit as working royals and plunged the Crown into crisis.
