Meghan Markle had a proud wife moment with Prince Harry in Canada.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out for the start of the Invictus GamesVancouver Whistler 2025's One Year to Go celebration on Wednesday, hitting the slopes to meet athletes using adaptive skis and their guides. Harry, 39, took a turn sit-skiing himself, and Meghan, 42, made sure to capture the moment.

According to a video posted on X by Rebecca Lewis of Hello! magazine, Meghan borrowed a phone to take a photo of her husband sitting in the adaptive ski. She reportedly wanted to "show the kids," referring to their 4-year-old son, Prince Archie, and 2-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet.

When it comes to bringing Archie and Lili to the Invictus Games, an adaptive sports competition for veterans and service personnel, Prince Harry told PEOPLE in 2022, "We can't wait!" — and revealed he's already introduced the competition to his son.

"I showed Archie a video of wheelchair basketball and rugby from the Invictus Games in Sydney, and he absolutely loved it," Harry shared exclusively.

"I showed him how some were missing legs and explained that some had invisible injuries too," the Duke of Sussex continued. "Not because he asked but because I wanted to tell him. Kids understand so much, and to see it through his eyes was amazing because it's so unfiltered and honest."

Prince Harry's personal life has changed greatly since launching the Invictus Games in 2014, most notably becoming a husband and father.

"Being a dad certainly adds another emotional layer to it," Harry told PEOPLE. "When I was in the Army, I promised myself I would be out before having a wife and kids because I couldn't imagine the heartache of being apart for so long during deployment, the risk of possibly getting injured and the reality that my family's lives could be changed forever if that happened."

He added, "Every member of the Invictus community has experienced varying degrees of these things. I have tremendous respect for what they and their families sacrifice in the name of service."

The Invictus Games has also played a key role in Prince Harry and Meghan's relationship — the couple made their first public appearance together at the Toronto Games in 2017.

"There is nowhere you can feel more embraced and supported than with the Invictus family," he said. "The Toronto Games were our first time out and about publicly in an official way. We were dating at the time, so it was a lot to take in, but fortunately, we were with the perfect community for that.

Ivan Morera, who represented Team U.S.A. in Germany last year and will compete again in Canada, tells PEOPLE that he's learning how to ski and snowboard.

"I love to challenge myself just to build resilience and show that I'm still capable of being physically active even with my adaptation. I've had a great time here," he says.

Morera, who is a single-arm amputee following an incident while he was serving Afghanistan, says, "I look forward to meeting Prince Harry, just shaking his hand and, 'Hey, thank you for your service and thank you for this opportunity."
