Prince Harry and Meghan Markle enjoy intimate moment and pose for selfies on day six of Invictus Games

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are enjoying the fifth day of the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany. 

The couple are kicking off the fun at wheelchair basketball, where our reporter Isabelle Casey is on the ground. They're chatting, mingling, posing with young fans, and cheering on the competitors from the sidelines. 

Meghan, who flew into Europe late last night, is looking as gorgeous as ever in her casual look. 

The Duchess of Sussex looks stunning for her second day in Düsseldorf. Power dressing has long been an attribute of Meghan's style file, particularly her penchant for longline shorts. 

Donning a cool and casual ensemble, Meghan is wearing a smart cardigan from JCrew and tailored white shorts from Staud.  The former actress also slipped into Chanel leather toe-cap ballet flats.

Meghan's ensemble yesterday was also a bonafide classic and testament to her commitment to affordable fashion. 

The Duchess wore a Banana Republic black midi shirt dress, with an A-line skirt and elbow-length sleeves, pairing the chic look with black stiletto heels by Aquazarra - and looked stunning.

While Meghan Markle has only been at the games for a matter of hours, her husband has been in Germany from the start. 

Here you can see the best pictures from Harry's time in Dusseldorf.

How flawless does Meghan look?

The Sussexes are travelling without their children, Archie, four, and Lili, two. Although they haven't been far from their minds!

Last night, Meghan made a reference to her kids during her speech on stage, saying: "Just like so many of you, this is about family and friends and the community that Invictus has created, that Fisher House has created, so I just had to spend a little bit more time at home getting our little ones settled, getting milkshakes, doing school drop off, and then I landed a couple of hours ago."

The Sussexes are making fans' days by signing shirts and giving out their autographs.

And that's a wrap on event one of day five of the Invictus Games!

The Duke and Duchess are leaving the building to rapturous acclaim.

We'll be back later for the next fixture this afternoon - the swimming and wheelchair basketball finals! 

Our reporter Isabelle Casey is with Harry and Meghan and will be sending exclusive content from the ground soon.

Harry and Meghan are meeting with a number of competitors from the Nigerian team following the wheelchair basketball fixture this morning.

They're being presented with a plaque from the Chief of Defence in Nigeria - and Meghan's even been given a new nickname: Amira Ngozi Lolo.

Amira is a warrior princess from a legend, Ngozi means 'blessed' and Lolo is 'royal wife'.

Meghan has a new nickname but Harry's been given an even better gift - a pair of budgie smugglers!

The Australian team are carrying on their tradition of giving the Duke the piece of swimwear at every Games.

Our reporter Isabelle Casey is live in Germany and is sharing her highlights from the day so far.

Watch the video below.

While we wait for Meghan and Harry to reappear, why not take a look at our gallery of memorable pics of royals attending sporting events?  From William’s emotional hug following the Lionesses' triumph in the Euro 2022 final, to a grimacing Charles at the Invictus Games in 2014, this trip down memory lane is bound to raise a smile.

Nigeria are making history at the games as the only African nation to compete, and with Meghan having discovered her own Nigerian heritage, there was bound to be camaraderie between them. As you can see in the clip below, the Nigerian team huddled around the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as one led them in a chant of 'Gbosas' for the duo, which rougly translates as 'kudos'.

Speaking to HELLO!, Derrick Cobbinah who helped co-ordinate the debut of Nigeria in this year's games, revealed that Meghan is hoping for a family trip to Nigeria. "She said she couldn't wait to visit Nigeria for her mum and the kids," he said. Derrick also confirmed that Meghan was left "deeply touched" by the nickname that the Nigerian team bestowed upon her.

Giving the reasoning behind their team chant for the Duchess, which is in the post below, he said they were "welcoming" Meghan into their Nigerian family. "She's always welcome to visit Nigeria and other African countries," he sweetly commented.

Meghan and Harry have been busy meeting competitors at the Games, including Australian Laura Reynell, who has so far competed in the power lifting, archery and rowing. During her chat with Meghan, the Duchess shared that her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were "excited" about the Games, even if they didn't yet fully "understand" them.

The Duke and Duchess have arrived for the swimming final. We expect plenty of cheering from Harry, especially with some Team GB competitors haveing made the final!

Alongside his wife, Harry also sat with Mark Omrod. Mark is a triple amputee who competed in 2018 Invictus Games which were held in Sydney, Australia, where his kindness led to something very unexpected.

Mark was approached by a fellow competitor who was due to compete in the 50m breast stroke, but faced having to pull out to a lack of participants. Mark agreed to take part and, in a sport he had never competed in, saw him win gold in a photo finish.

It's a sprting event, so of course Sweet Caroline was played, and the Duke and Duchess were seen swaying with the crowd and singing along as the song played throughout the pool. See the moment below...

Meghan changed into a glamorous new outfit as she headed for the swimming, and we have all the details on it right here.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had a busy day, but they're now at their final event as they sit down for the the wheelchair basketball. Meghan wore trainers at the swimming, but she has now swapped her footwear for a classy pair of heels.

Harry and Meghan have been meeting all sorts of wonderful people during the day, but the duo looked thrilled as they met with the mascot of the French wheelchair basketball team.

Meghan turned heads with her stylish outfit when she stepped out earlier in a pair of J. Crew shorts. The item has proven to be so popular that the retailer's website is still down as a result!

We're back for day six of the Invictus Games and waiting for Prince Harry and Meghan to make their first public appearance of the day.

The couple will watch the volleyball and table tennis later this afternoon, but in the meantime have a read of our reporter Isabelle Casey's first-person diary of her time in Germany. 

She's on the ground following the Sussexes and has witnessed many a heartfelt moment - from Harry and Meghan's tactile exchanges, to hearing stories from the inspiring competitors.

The Duke and Duchess are carrying out a private engagement before the Invictus Games fixtures, attending a meeting with NATO representatives.

They're looking effortlessly cool as usual. We're loving Meghan's copper and camel ensemble.
