HARHARRY JEERED Prince Harry booed by anti-war protesters as arrives at Invictus Games without Meghan Markle in Germany

PRINCE Harry was booed by a small number of anti-war protesters as he arrived for the start of the Invictus Games.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, was met by a mixed crowd as he tuned up at the town hall in Dusseldorf, Germany, for a ceremony and was joined by the city’s mayor Stephen Keller.

Harry has made the trip on his own while his wife, Meghan Markle, is looking after their two children although it's thought she will join him later.

Some 500 people had gathered to greet the royal and while a small number of protesters booed him and shouted out anti-military slogans, they were drowned out by the vast majority of supporters who called out his name and cheered him on.

Around six people held a demonstration against the German military’s involvement in the games for disabled and wounded military vets but were confined to a corner of the market square.

The critics claim the Games will be used by the military to sign up new recruits.

The small group were outnumbered by the police with one in the group holding up a banner which said ‘Bomber Harry’ in a reference to his time as an Apache helicopter gunner in AfghanistanRepresentatives from the 21 nations taking part in the games waited inside the town hall for his arrival.

It comes as Harry was pictured with volunteers categorisers at the Invictus Games who facilitate fair competition.

He yesterday endured a tearful and lonely vigil at the Queen's resting place on the first anniversary of her death.

Harry, 38, was pictured looking choked up as he emerged from St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle at 9.50am.

The chapel had been unlocked especially for Harry's private vigil.

He spent time alone by the ledger marking where his gran was interned with her beloved Philip.

The spot is inside the area called King George VI Memorial Chapel, part of the main chapel, and is open to the public.

After his vigil, Harry flew from Heathrow to Germany and checked into the €1,600-a-night Presidential suite at the Hyatt Regency hotel.

He will open his Invictus Games today and Meghan, 42, is expected to join him there on Monday.

But mystery surrounds Meghan's role after she was deleted from the media schedule.

An official guide to the games showed the Duchess of Sussex would "take to the stage" for the closing ceremony, according to MailOnline.

Meghan was reportedly due to host a segment about the competitors, but sources claim the information was included in error.

Among those attending to support the prince was superfan Madeleine Durant, 20, who had driven for two hours from her home in Dortmund to see Harry.

She held up a yellow banner saying ‘Harry, I came all the way to take a photo with you'.

Madeleine said: “I am a big fan of Harry and hope that he sees the banner and comes over. I really do like him as he speaks the truth.”

It comes after Harry spoke about the Queen at the WellChild charity gala in West London on Thursday.

He was on a whistle-stop trip to the UK for the first time since he was evicted by Charles from Frogmore Cottage on the Castle estate.
