Back to the grind! Just three days after his wife, Meghan Markle, gave birth to their first child together, baby Archie, Prince Harry jetted off to the Netherlands. This trip wasn’t just any old jaunt—it was a mission to kickstart the next round of the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style event for veterans and serving armed forces members who’ve faced injuries or wounds in the line of duty. Talk about dedication!
A Royal Dad on Duty
On May 9, 2019, the Duke of Sussex, all of 34 years old, landed in the Netherlands with a mission: to oversee preparations for the upcoming Invictus Games. These games are set to launch exactly a year later, on May 9, 2020. Imagine the pressure! But Harry wasn’t just there to sit back and listen; no, this new dad got hands-on, trying his hand at archery. If he keeps this up, he might just give Katniss Everdeen a run for her money!
Archery and Advocacy: Harry’s Day in the Netherlands
While in the Netherlands, Prince Harry spent his time not only getting informed about the preparations for the games but also engaging in some physical activities himself. Picture this: a royal duke flexing his muscles while shooting arrows. But it wasn’t all fun and games. Harry delivered a heartfelt speech emphasizing the importance of the Invictus Games. He spoke about witnessing firsthand how sports can transform lives, aiding in both physical and psychological recovery. “The Invictus Games would change lives, capture hearts, and inspire a generation,” he said. And inspire, they did!

A Vision for the Future
Harry continued, “Now here we are, launching the countdown to the fifth Invictus Games, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Many more wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women will have the opportunity to continue their journey to recovery.” It’s not just about the games; it’s about the healing power of sports and the community it brings together. This is a testament to Harry’s commitment to those who’ve given so much for their countries.
