“It was an introductory meeting,” Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s communications director, told HELLO!. “They spoke at length about the success of the Invictus Games and the men and women who serve their countries.”
Melania — who led the United States delegation to the royal's third annual Paralympic-style sporting competition — and Harry shook hands and posed for photos before chatting for about 20 minutes. The first lady told the Prince that she would love to host him if he ever visits the United States.

Following her royal introduction, Melania met Team USA at a reception during which she delivered a speech wishing the American competitors good luck. “On behalf of my husband and our entire country, I want to thank you and your families for all you have sacrificed to keep us safe,” she said.
“I also want to wish you good luck, though I know you won’t need it in these games,” the 47-year-old added. “Take that fighting spirit that I know you have and bring home the gold.”
