Prince Harry said that Meghan Markle is "loving" the Invictus Games, after she made her first public appearance by his side this week.

Ms Markle attended the wheelchair tennis hand-in-hand with the Prince, her boyfriend of 14 months, on Monday.

Prince Harry told competitors on Wednesday she was "loving" the Invictus Games experience, which has seen him attend most events solo to shine a spotlight on the athletes themselves.

"I asked him how his girlfriend was enjoying it and he said 'she loves it, she's loving the games,' which is awesome," said former US air force master sergeant Kyle Burnett, 37.

She met Prince Harry in the training tent at a cycling event on Tuesday, as he made his way round competitors to greet them.

It is the first time the Prince is known to have spoken about Ms Markle in public, following a written statement confirming their relationship last year.
