Prince Harry celebrated his 39th birthday with a traditionally hearty German meal in Dusseldorf, where the Invictus Games are currently under way.

Accompanied by his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, and staff from their Archewell foundation, Harry feasted on schnitzel… before blowing out the candles on his white chocolate cake at the Schumacher Brewery.

The couple were reunited earlier this week, after Meghan joined Harry at the sporting event for service personnel and military veterans on Tuesday 12 September.

Harry made a quick stopover in London to attend a charity awards ceremony before arriving in Dusseldorf for the start of the games last weekend.

Meanwhile, Meghan flew in from California – where the couple now reside – on Tuesday, as she apologised for “joining the party a little late” on account of having to settle their children, Archie and Lilibet, at home.

Since then, Harry and Meghan have made multiple appearances at official Invictus Games engagements, leaving fans delighted over “beautiful” photographs of the couple looking smitten by each other.

On Thursday 14 September, they stepped out together for a “family-style” German meal at the Schumacher Brewery in Dusseldorf to mark Harry’s birthday, The Telegraph reported.

The royal couple was joined by members of their Archewell staff, security team, as well as two British publicists, as the group dined in a public part of the restaurant, a source told the newspaper.

They ordered weiner schnitzel, red cabbage, and mashed potato.

Meghan was wearing a red-and-white striped blouse, paired with white trousers and nude flats, while Harry opted for a casual shirt tucked into a pair of jeans.

Harry paid the bill and left a “big tip” after their meal.

The couple then reportedly headed back to their hotel just before midnight as Harry turned a year older on Friday 15 September.
