In the grand finale of Invictus Vancouver Whistler 2025 One Year To Go, Harry and Meghan, surrounded by dignitaries and dear friends like Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato, attended a gala at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
The highlight of the evening was the heartfelt gifts from Four Host First Nations – special handwoven blankets for the Sussex family, symbolizing warmth and connection.
Meghan and Harry exchange greetings with Squamish Nation Councillor Wilson Williams and Chief of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, Jen Thomas after being given blankets.
Michael Bublé set the tone with a soulful rendition of ‘My Way,’ reimagined to underscore the significance of the Invictus Games.
A sweet video of the couple listening to Michael sing.

I really love everything she wore — I’m a little iffy on the first day white pants but she looked amazing regardless. Very much giving out pre-wedding vibes. I LOVE the green dress — the dull green with the ruching and the wonderful skirt bottom. I always focus most on jewelry — I’m not a fan at all of the “been in the family for 1000 years” sort of jewelry, but I love pieces that are more personal and obviously chosen by the wearer. Meghan’s necklace tonight is just SO perfect! And I love her stacked diamond rings from a few days ago.
I just like everything about this trip. Including winter sports is such a thrill for Invictus watchers! And how gracious of the Four Host First Nations for all they are doing!
And how wonderful does Harry look? It’s not fair to praise people just for physical good looks, but how lucky are we that M&H make such a stunning couple?
(I suffer when I don’t see them in a while and then get so giddy when they do appear!)

I have to say Meghan hasn’t put a foot wrong on this trip which is surprising because usually she has at least one outfit that I go…No. Not for me. However this has been a lesson in Winter Chic and a treat as well. It also looks like she might have cut a bit off her hair or is trying to curl it. Either way it is a really nice look on her.
One thing though-Is this green dress the same as the camel one she wore for the Awards ceremony a few months ago? It looks the same design only in green. Personally I think the green looks way better on her than the camel. But throughout all her looks her hair, her make up and her fashion has been wonderfully on point. Winter dressing is something I think Meghan can do really, really well…
As always amazing coverage! Thank you.

Hi Rachel,
Thank you for your kinds words! The camel color dress was Proenza Schouler which she wore for the 2023 Variety Power of Women back in November. Thanks, Susan

Totally agree with you! Everything on this trip looks great on her. It seemed like she was struggling off and on with fit the last few years — I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it feels like sometimes super high waisted pants/skirts/belts around her waist look off to me for some reason. But no complaints about this trip at all, except for quibbling about how the green gown could have been hemmed up an inch or two.
