The couple waved their hands in the air and greeted fans at a sports arena in Dusseldorf.
The couple were reunited at the event yesterday - after spending almost a week apart. Meghan joined Harry at a reception for the 1,600 athletes and their friends and family.
Today, the Duke and Duchess got into the spirit of the games waving their hands from side to side in time with the cheering crowd.
Later on, Harry and Meghan will watch the swimming finals at 5pm and the wheelchair basketball at 7pm UK time.
Meghan travelled from the Sussexes' home in California to the German city, landing there last night.
Harry launched the sporting event for wounded military personnel and veterans on Saturday night.
The couple famously appeared in public together for the first time at the Toronto Invictus Games in 2017, pictured hand in hand at a wheelchair tennis event.
It is likely that Meghan's mother Doria Ragland is looking after the Sussexes' young children Archie and Lilibet at their home in Montecito, California.
Harry was pictured on Tuesday sharing a joke with TV presenter and Invictus Games medalist JJ Chalmers during the wheelchair basketball competition, after taking part in some "seat dancing".
On Monday, Harry, the founding patron of the Invictus Games, warmly embraced a wheelchair rugby player by kissing him on the head.
He watched matches in an eight-team wheelchair rugby knockout tournament, then presented medals and spoke to players after Team USA defeated the United Kingdom 21-13 in the final.
His attendance at the games comes after a brief visit to the UK, where he joined the WellChild Awards and visited St George's Chapel in Windsor on the anniversary of the death of his grandmother, the late Queen.
