Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined the Australian Prime Minister for a special reception in London to celebrate this summer's Invictus Games.

The Royal couple learnt about how plans are progressing for the Sydney games at the event hosted by Malcolm Turnbull and his wife Lucy.

Harry and his bride-to-be met servicemen and women from both Britain and Australia, some of who have previously competed.

The Invictus Games is the only international sporting event specifically for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veteran.

More than 500 competitors from 18 nations are due to compete at the Invictus Games in Sydney between October 20 and 27.

It is expected Harry, who is patron of the Invictus Games Foundation, will travel to Australia for the event with Ms Markle, who will by then be his wife.

When Toronto hosted the Paralympic-style event last year the former Suits star, who at the time was living and working in the city, attended the opening and closing ceremonies and visited competitors with Harry.
