A source close to Invictus said: "This was always planned. Meghan is going home to be with her children.
"Meghan left the games in Dusseldorf early after five days to go home.
"This is Prince Harry's event and she is there to support him but this was planned."
Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, did not join their parents on the trip and have remained at the family's home in Montecito.
Meghan has been sharing snaps and footage from behind-the-scenes on her new Instagram account, since the couple arrived in Canada on Saturday.
The Sussexes enjoyed star-studded performances from Katy Perry, Nelly Furtado and Coldplay's Chris Martin at the opening ceremony at BC Place, Vancouver.
Meghan giggled in a selfie-style video with Nelly backstage at the Games’ opening ceremony, with Harry appearing to surprise them as he photobombed the clip midway through.
Chris also thanked the Duke Harry for inviting him to perform during his set, saying: "I'd like to say thanks, of course, to Prince Harry.
"When he called me he said, ‘I’ve called every other musician in the world, they all said they’re not available so I have to call you’. And I said ‘your royal holiness, I’m honoured’.
"But thank you Harry for being such an inspiring leader and kind and sweet man, and I hope you have the most wonderful games of all. And it’s a pleasure to be here."
Harry and Meghan have also been captured during some loved-up moments at the Games, sharing kisses and holding hands at the NHL game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
HELLO! exclusively revealed the couple also enjoyed a double date night with Canadian singer Michael Buble and his wife Luisana at Vij's, an Indian restaurant south of downtown Vancouver after the opening ceremony.
And on Monday, as the tournament moved to Whistler, Harry cheekily put his wife on the spot as he brought Meghan onstage during a speech, jokily saying: "Now she’s going to sing!" which made the audience laugh.
