The Duchess of Sussex is due to leave Canada without her husband, Prince Harry, today [Tuesday].
Meghan, 43, has spent five days watching the action at the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler, attending various events at the tournament, which champions injured servicemen and women.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex, 40, is expected to remain at the Games until the closing ceremony on Sunday.
A source close to Invictus said: "This was always planned. Meghan is going home to be with her children.
"Meghan left the games in Dusseldorf early after five days to go home.
"This is Prince Harry's event and she is there to support him but this was planned."
Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, did not join their parents on the trip and have remained at the family's home in Montecito.

The Sussexes enjoyed star-studded performances from Katy Perry, Nelly Furtado and Coldplay's Chris Martin at the opening ceremony at BC Place, Vancouver.
Meghan giggled in a selfie-style video with Nelly backstage at the Games’ opening ceremony, with Harry appearing to surprise them as he photobombed the clip midway through.

"When he called me he said, ‘I’ve called every other musician in the world, they all said they’re not available so I have to call you’. And I said ‘your royal holiness, I’m honoured’.
"But thank you Harry for being such an inspiring leader and kind and sweet man, and I hope you have the most wonderful games of all. And it’s a pleasure to be here."

HELLO! exclusively revealed the couple also enjoyed a double date night with Canadian singer Michael Buble and his wife Luisana at Vij's, an Indian restaurant south of downtown Vancouver after the opening ceremony.
And on Monday, as the tournament moved to Whistler, Harry cheekily put his wife on the spot as he brought Meghan onstage during a speech, jokily saying: "Now she’s going to sing!" which made the audience laugh.
