00:44 However the Duchess, 42, makes very few appearances in the five-episode series, appearing to give a speech about service, as well as on a number of occasions to offer comment and support to Harry.
01:02 The release comes as the couple prepare for their first joint appearance together since they attended the Women in Vision Awards in New York back in May.
01:16 The Duchess only appears on camera in four of the episodes of the five-part DOCU series.
01:28 In her most prominent moment, Meghan is shown speaking at the opening ceremony of the Games to introduce Harry to the stage, in footage which was aired live at the time.
01:50 She said, "Thank you so much for your service and thank you to all the friends and the family that are here who've been supporting you along the way.
02:04 Because this is service, this is dedication, and this is the Invictus family. Please welcome my incredible husband, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex."
02:19 Harry went on to thank his wife for the introduction, going on, "Thank you my love."
02:30 Elsewhere, during the first episode of the series, Meghan can be seen as she joins Harry at the November 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala in New York.
02:45 The couple can be seen arriving at the event, as the Duke confides in the Duchess how nervous he is for an upcoming speech.
02:58 He tells her, "We haven't done this for a while," while Meghan responds, "I know."
03:09 Harry continues, "My heart like digidigadigadiga."Later, in the fourth episode, the couple sit down to discuss the Invictus Games in The Hague.
03:24 The couple discuss how the day's events in are "tense, and tough," and Thel have the chance to meet the Ukrainian team.

05:51 In the next scene, Harry delivers his speech and reaches the name he struggles to pronounce, taking a pause and a deep breath before doing so which prompts a laugh from the audience.
06:07 He then pronounces the name perfectly as a beaming Meghan proudly watches on, and the Duchess doesn't appear in one of the episodes at all, despite the Invictus Games being a significant milestone for the couple in their relationship.
06:25 The Invictus Games was where the couple chose to make their first public appearance together almost five years ago.
06:37 Meghan made her first appearance at an official engagement attended by Harry on September 24, 2017, when she attended the Invictus Games opening ceremony in Toronto, Canada, although the pair sat about 18 seats apart.
