It comes after Prince Harry made his second appearance in Vancouver on Monday as the dad-of-two launched the Invictus Games school programme.
He was seen beaming with pride at a game of sitting volleyball.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, the duke gave a thumbs up to Canadian football fans as he made another public appearance without his wife Meghan Markle.

The 40-year-old was interviewed prior to the first half of a CFL football game at the 111th Grey Cup in Vancouver.
Harry was interviewed by TSN's James Duthie as the Toronto Argonauts took on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The surprise guest said: "First Grey Cup. What I'm looking forward to? The game getting started. Let's go!"
He wore a dark dress shirt and long, black jacket and waved at the crowd before he was quickly escorted away.
The royal later returned to the field with BC Lions owner Amar Doman and Canadian athlete Wenshuang Nie.
The Founding Patron of the Invictus Games then took part in a jersey handover ceremony with competitor Wen.
The wayward duke has been undertaking several speaking engagements at awards ceremonies and taking part in charitable panels and summits on his own.
Some commentators see this as the prince doing a "full relaunch" of his charity work – and lately his wife Meghan is nowhere to be seen in public with him.
Sources in California say the new "solo Harry" is his own idea.
Royal biographer Hugo Vickers, 72, told The Sun how much happier he seems.
He said: "We've seen Prince Harry make several appearances without Meghan recently.
"Of course it's what he does terribly well when he's doing things with football, invictus games and sport.
"He's much better at that frankly than when he's sort of talking what I might call California speak, which seems to have been dictated to him by Meghan.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle will RETURN to Britain for Invictus ceremony
By Matt Wilkinson and Summer Raemason
PRINCE Harry's Invictus Games will be held in Birmingham - meaning the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will return to the UK.
The West Midlands city will be unveiled today at a ceremony and flag-raising.
Harry is not attending the ceremony but he and Meg are now set to return for the games, which will take place in 2027.
Meghan, 42, has joined Harry, 39, at every Invictus Games while they have been together after first appearing at the 2017 Toronto games.
She has avoided the UK since the late Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022 apart from spending just a few hours at Heathrow while changing flights ahead of the couple's 'pseudo-Royal' tour of Nigeria in May.
The last time Harry held his games for wounded soldiers in the UK in 2014, the London games were attended by William, Camilla and Charles.
It comes as Invictus CEO Dominic Reid stepped down from his role and the Invictus Games are being held in Whistler and Vancouver, Canada, this year.
Prince Harry said: "Congratulations to Birmingham, UK, on winning the bid to host the Invictus Games 2027.
"Your city’s strong ties to the Armed Forces community made it a formidable contender from the very start.
"Over the years, we’ve seen each city bring a unique spirit and vision to life for competitors, their families, and spectators.
"We have no doubt the people of Birmingham will join in celebrating the unwavering respect and admiration we have for our veteran and service community, showing the world how their courage ignites hope and unites us all- something your city knows well."
