Archie got mini jerseys from both teams. So cute. Didn’t realize this was an Invictus event.

Apparently it is. Accdg to Omid, there was a reception that happened for former UK and US Invictus competitors.

Here's a short clip too.

The MLB became an official IG partner this year. Big get for IG. Hence why Harry is attending the game (with Meg).

What fun all around! Baseball and some of my favorite royals. Not a bad saturday of royal watching

How nice to see them out and about and enjoying themselves. Being American, I can imagine that Meghan is no stranger to the "boys of summer" and baseball games.

Its good to see them both there together and enjoying themselves away from the everyday life as new parents. New mothers do need breaks like this sometimes for their own sanity.

I was so happy to hear that MLB has joined the Invictus Games as a partner this year. These games are growing bigger and better and getting more and more support as the years roll by.

This is one of Harry's most successful endeavors and one he cares so deeply about that it must feel like his heart is about to jump out of his chest with pride as these games gain more and more momentum. Gotta love it!

That's so true. It's lovely that its getting the reception and support it deserves. In 5 years, we can see how it's growing. Kudos to the Duke and the men and women behnd Invictus.

Previous Invictus games competitors from the US and the UK will throw the first ceremonial pitch.

Nice to see the Sussexes out for this event. I don't think Meghan was expected. A lovely surprise. Omid Scobie was the only royal reporter that tweeted this that I saw (I guess the other RRs were too busy with other things). DM has a big splash.

Omid is a reliable source when it comes to the Sussexes. Meanwhile, here are some photos and clips from the event.

HELLO had an article out earlier about it. And Emily Nash actually tweeted out the article before Omid wrote the tweet.

Good point, Rudolph. I'll stick to this thread.

Another thing that really impresses me with Major League Baseball joining as a partner with the Invictus Games is that it is a clear recognition of the spirit of competition of the Invictus Games in sports as being a legitimate and worth the recognition of being "a league of their own". Perhaps the spirit of the Invictus Games will even rub off on professional teams a wee bit. I think Harry said it best describing the IG and its spirit when he said:

“These Games have shone a spotlight on the ‘unconquerable’ character of servicemen and women, their families and the ‘invictus’ spirit. These Games have been about seeing guys sprinting for the finish line and then turning round to clap the last man in. They have been about teammates choosing to cross the line together, not wanting to come second, but not wanting the other guys to either. These Games have shown the very best of the human spirit.”
