Prince Harry hugs Justin Trudeau in surprise Invictus Games bromance

Prince Harry looked delighted to be reunited with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and also had a poignant reminder of his late grandmother the Queen when he was seen petting a corgi

Prince Harry and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau shook hands and embraced in a man hug at the Invictus Games.

The royal, 40, looked delighted to see Trudeau before sitting down with him to watch the indoor rowing event at Vancouver Conference Centre. The pair, who were excitedly supporting the athletes from their seats, continued their bromance after meeting several times before.

Indoor rowing is the final event being held before tonight’s closing ceremony at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena. After watching the action, the pair posed for pictures with wellwishers on their way out. Among those who were lucky enough to get a snap with the Duke of Sussex was Frodo, a corgi who has his own Instagram account. The breed of dog was a favourite of Harry’s late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

Frodo is a support dog to his Royal Canadian Air Force veteran owner Grace Campbell. The pair met Harry, 40, and wife Meghan, 43, earlier in the Games. Writing on social media on Thursday, Grace said: “We loved meeting him and Meghan.”

Frodo is a three-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He has met the Duke three times at the Games – once on Friday and again on Sunday. He also met Harry with Meghan earlier this week. Speaking about Friday’s meeting, owner Grace Campbell said: “He mostly just talked to Frodo. He gave him treats and got him to shake a paw. He said he loved dogs.”

Today is the last day of the Invictus Games in Canada and Harry is expected to give a speech at the closing ceremony, which will also include performances by US singer Jelly Roll and Canadian legends Barenaked Ladies.

Yesterday, at the penultimate day of the event in Vancouver and Whistler, Harry had a royal reunion with a prince and princess. He was joined to watch the sitting vollyeball tournament by Prince Joachim of Denmark and his wife Princess Marie. The couple stood with Harry enjoying a light-hearted chat and cheered on competitors.

Joachim is the younger brother of King Frederik of Denmark. Harry last crossed paths with him in 2017, when the pair both visited a military training centre together in the Danish capital Copenhagen. At it seems that Joachim has also had family drama with his own royal relatives – similar to Harry.

The reunion came after Harry, 40, was mobbed by fans desperate for selfies at the sitting volleyball matches, leading to his security team being forced to step in. The reunion came just a day after Meghan marked Valentines Day by posting a photo on Instagram of her exchanging a kiss with Harry.

She said: “Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families. Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created.”

Referencing the meal in the photograph, she added: “My love, I will eat burgers & fries and fish & chips with you forever. Thank you for you.” Later, she also shared a video that gave a glimpse of her children helping her prepare heart-shaped treats. Meghan posted a video of herself cutting heart-shaped strawberries and preparing Valentine’s themed food alongside her children, with the song L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole, on her Instagram story.
