Muted colors, no tie
The Paralympic competitions for war veterans are an affair of the heart for the prince, who left the royal family with his wife in 2020.
Duchess Meghan showed up in a casual summer outfit for her visit to Düsseldorf.
The American, who has made it very rare in public since her departure from royal family, wore a white, ribbed, off-the-shoulder top and beige wide pants on Tuesday.
Harry was dressed in a classic gray suit – though he didn't wear a tie.
