Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, spent their Valentine's Day evening with the First Nations of western Canada on Wednesday February 14.
The pair toured the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre with Youth Ambassadors, Chief Nelson and Wilson Williams, in the hours after they made an appearance in Whistler for the Invictus Games' One Year to Go event. They met young artists who created the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 logo, which features the Games' logo and ties in designs from the four First Nations tribes.

Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, are spending several days in Canada, meeting 2025 hopefuls and former competitors at a winter training camp to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.
The former working royals arrived on the snowy mountain – after a 10-minute gondola ride up from Whistler village – smiling and tenderly holding on to each other before they were greeted by organizers and participants from the camp.

Harry wore a thick black jacket to keep warm, with a pair of dark jeans and brown winter snow shoes, topped off with a grey beanie, Meghan, meanwhile, wore a stylish white CO sweater and white Frame jeans, with a large off-white Calvin Klein puffer overcoat and high-top Sorel ski boots.

He also spoke about having a "lot of respect" for Harry because he "understands military personnel because of his experience." Ivan later got his chance, as he spoke to Harry and Meghan about his participation in the 2023 games in Dusseldorf.
