The Duke and Duchess of Sussex proudly watched from the stands at the Invictus Games, where Prince Harry delivered a poignant message promoting unity and perseverance among competitors. The event, held in Vancouver, featured over 500 athletes competing in various events, including winter sports for the first time.
During his speech, Prince Harry, who founded the Invictus Games in 2014, urged participants to rise above global challenges, emphasizing empowerment: "You saved yourself." The couple clapped and cheered, showcasing their support for the UK's team as they entered.
President Donald Trump stirred controversy earlier, commenting on a hypothetical deportation of Prince Harry, stating he'd "leave him alone." His remarks about Meghan, whom he previously called "nasty," reignited tensions, particularly since she has openly criticized Trump in the past.
The vibrant ceremony, attended by around 40,000 spectators, also featured musical performances by Coldplay's Chris Martin, Nelly Furtado, and Katy Perry, who rounded off the entertainment with several hits, including "Roar."
Harry's passion for honoring veterans stems from personal experiences during his military service in Afghanistan. He acknowledged the indigenous First Nations for their role in hosting the games, reinforcing the event's dedication to mutual respect and understanding.
This latest installment of the Invictus Games showcases the resilience of military athletes and reaffirms the couple's commitment to advocacy for veterans, even amidst external political distractions.
