Prince Harry shares emotional new message on ‘healing’ just one week after reunion with Prince William
Prince Harry has shared an emotional new video on the important role Sport can have in healing and changing lives.
The Duke of Sussex’s video message was released as a preview to the 2025 Invictus Games which will be hosted in Vancouver.
It comes just one week after Harry and the Prince of Wales came face-to-face for the first time in over a year during their uncle’s funeral in Norfolk.
However, the brothers did not speak to each other during the event as their bitter feud remains unresolved.
Harry said in the new video: “Sport has the ability to heal, to change lives and to save lives.
“For so many of these competitors, getting to the start line has been one of the hardest moments of their life.
“But at the Games, their lives are changed. Watching these magical moments happen, and sport being the facilitator of that, is very, very special for all of us to witness.”
In July, Prince Harry announced that the Invictus Games will return to the UK in 2027.
Despite stepping down from the monarchy in 2020, Prince Harry has continued his work with the sporting competition for veterans.
The first Invictus Games were held in London in 2014 and the Duke of Sussex hosted an anniversary event to mark the occasion earlier this year at St Paul’s Cathedral.
No members of the Royal Family attended the anniversary event in May but the Invictus Games taking place in Birmingham could see UK based royals attending the competition.
Birmingham was chosen over DC Washington on the final two destination shortlist in a choice between the UK or US as the hosting nation.
