In another video shared with her stories, Meghan tagged the Chief Joe Mathias Center in North Vancouver, BC, which is mentioned online as a center that “serves as a community hub for cultural and educational events.”
It offers space for meetings, workshops and programs that are aimed at celebrating and retaining indigenous traditions and knowledge.
The couple had previously been in Vancouver for the seventh edition of the Invictus Games, which Harry founded in 2014 for wounded, injured and sick soldiers and women.
But on Sunday the pair was closed for driving in a golf buggy past the disabled veterans at Invictus Games.
The short video of the couple in a golf cart, which was shared with Meghan's Instagram, caused a stir online with people who called the royal couple 'desperate' because they drive past veterans, some who were a wheelchair -bound.
In the clip, which is shared online on a large scale, the 'skilled' couple can be seen by driving past cheering veterans, who sang 'Harry' while they drove past.
One person wrote: 'So Meghan and Harry, two skilled people, are driven on a golf cart past disabled veterans.
'Some veterans are wheelchair -bound. They should have walked, meet, greet and shake through the group. All with a camera that she follows. Unbelievable. '
Another said: 'They drive past the cart behind them … where people are encouraged to scream for them. When does this madness stop? '
Someone else wrote: 'Who will be honored here? The veterans or Harry and Meghan are honored by the veterans! '
This year's games, those for men and women of celebrities who put their lives for their countries, will include winter sports for the first time.
The presence of Meghan is understood to underline her support for her husband and the mission of Invictus, a cause that is both very personal for them.

Her only focus during these games will be to elevate her husband, the competitors and share their stories.
The Duke and Duchess spent three nights in the city of Vancouver before moving to the Whistler ski area for the adaptive winter sports section of the competitions for wounded and disabled military veterans.
She packed the PDA while watching in Canada and viewing the matches of the stands in Vancouver with her husband, nesting in him before he leans in for a passionate kiss.
The couple first appeared together in public on the Toronto Invictus Games in 2017, shown hand in hand at a wheelchair tennis event.
