In the vibrant atmosphere of Vancouver, as the sun set over the BC Place stadium, Prince Harry and Meghan were front-row supporters of the Invictus Games, which he founded to honor wounded veterans. During the ceremony, Harry addressed a cheering crowd of 40,000, urging athletes to push through "difficult times." This year marks a special milestone, with over 500 competitors ready to showcase their skills across 11 events, including winter sports for the very first time.
Their appearance came amidst a political storm, following US President Donald Trump’s comments about Harry during a recent interview. Trump sidestepped the idea of deporting Harry, stating, "He’s got enough problems with his wife," alluding to Meghan's past criticisms of him. In the meantime, the Duke addressed concerns over his past admissions of drug use relating to his U.S. visa, ensuring fans that it would not hinder the legacy of the Invictus Games.
The ceremony was filled with star-studded performances by Katy Perry and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, adding to the celebratory spirit. Prince Harry, reflecting on the transformative impact of the games, insisted, "You saved yourself," highlighting the resilience of the participants. As supporters cheered and athletes readied for competition, the couple's presence celebrated unity and strength in overcoming adversity.
