Leading the crowd’s cheers, Harry joked when his wife joined him: “Now she’s going to sing!”
Meghan shook her head and burst out laughing as the crowd cheered and clapped.
Before that, the couple, who will spend three days in Whistler, were snapped chilling and enjoying a pint at a nearby restaurant.
Monday’s welcome celebration ended with a flypast of two CF-18 Hornets flying over the village before and over to Whistler Olympic Park, where the Games’ Nordic ski events were taking place.
