  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended a driving challenge ahead of the Invictus Games in the Netherlands.
  • The couple cheered on competitors and rode in mini-sized Land Rovers with children.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge before the start of the Invictus Games in The Hague, Netherlands, on Saturday.

The two were seen cheering on competitors at the challenge, which is "designed to test driving skills, navigational ability, observation and teamwork using Land Rover vehicles," according to the Invictus Games website. Meghan was also seen supporting Harry when he hopped into a car himself, a Twitter video from ITV News royal producer Lizzie Robinson shows.

Meghan and Harry also rode with children around the course in mini-sized Land Rovers.

Representatives for Meghan and Harry did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in the Netherlands after stopping to see Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle earlier this week, Insider's Samantha Grindell reports. The trip marked the couple's first joint visit to the United Kingdom after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.

For the Invictus Games reception on Friday, Meghan stepped out in an all-white suit featuring a double-breasted blazer and wide-leg pants, according to Insider's Anneta Konstantinides. She finished the look with a white bag and gold jewelry.

Harry founded the Invictus Games Foundation, a sports competition for injured military veterans in 2014.

Last year during a gala at the Intrepid Museum in New York City, Harry said that he created the Invictus Games to show "that the men and women who have experienced service injuries, as well as their families, are the strongest people in the world ... and they deserve a platform to be seen, a platform to be recognized and a platform to be truly celebrated," according to People.

He made his first public appearance with Meghan Markle at the Toronto games in September 2017. The couple announced they were pregnant with their first child the same month they attended the Sydney Invictus Games in 2018.

This year's event, which was scheduled to take place in 2020, was postponed by the coronavirus pandemic. The games are scheduled to take place through Friday, April 22.
