Because this is service. This is dedication. And this is the Invictus family.”
The Duchess went on to praise her “incredible” husband, Prince Harry. “Now it is my distinguished honor to introduce someone that I think you’ll all be very excited to hear from. He has also spent many late nights and early mornings planning for these games to make them as perfect as possible for each of you,” she said.

He’s the founder of the Invictus Games, and the father to our two little ones, Archie and Lili. Please welcome my incredible husband, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex.”
Harry made his way to the stage, where he sweetly kissed his wife. “Thank you, my love,” the Duke said before beginning his own speech.
The day before the start of the Invictus Games, Meghan and Harry attended a friends and family reception—it was the couple’s first joint public appearance in Europe since stepping down as senior members of the royal family in 2020.
