Game on.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry faced off against each other in a friendly game of ping-pong in a new promo for the 2023 Invictus Games.
The black-and-white video ad starts out with athletes entering an empty stadium for their own table tennis matches, but by the end of the clip, a hand wearing a massive diamond ring is seen patting a paddle.
As Harry, 38, flashes a smirk, it’s then revealed that the hand belongs to Markle, 41, who appears ready to compete against her husband.
The promo then ends after the Duke of Sussex serves the ball, and the words “Invictus Games Düsseldorf 2023” appear across the screen.
The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event held for the wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, including those who are active duty and veterans.

Harry — who served in the British army for 10 years — founded the event in 2014.
In April, Markle praised her husband at the opening ceremony for the 2022 games.
“It is my distinguished honor to introduce someone that I think you’ll all be very excited to hear from,” the former “Suits” star gushed to the crowd in the Netherlands at the time.
“I could not love and respect him more and I know that all of you feel the same. He’s founder of the Invictus Games, and the father to our two little ones, Archie and Lili.”

The 2023 Invictus Games will be held in Germany for the first time. It is scheduled to take place from Sept. 9 to Sept. 16, 2023, with tickets now on sale.
The promo for the upcoming games revealed their motto for the event is “A Home for Respect.”
“We want to make Düsseldorf a ‘Home for Respect,'” a press release on the Invictus Game website states.
“We are not demanding it. But we are sure that Düsseldorf and Germany will pay tribute to it when they get to know our athletes, their path and their stories.”
