Prince Harry is back and from what everyone can tell, he’s better than ever before. In fact, one war veteran and friend says that he couldn’t help but notice how happy Harry looked while “back with his own people” at the Invictus Games. Here’s what you need to know.
Harry and wife Meghan spent Easter Sunday morning at the athletics track and were in the front row for the sitting volleyball as the first full day of competition began in The Hague.
Prince Harry Shows Just How Happy He Is While At The 2022 Invictus Games
The couple watched the action next to Jaco Van Gass – a Paralympian gold medallist and former Invictus competitor who suffered life-changing injuries with the British Army.
Van Gass left his home in South Africa to pursue a military career 16 years ago, but was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade in Afghanistan in 2009 while serving with the Parachute Regiment and lost his left arm at the elbow. He met Harry in 2011 when the duke joined the record-breaking team of wounded soldiers he was part of that trekked unsupported to the North Pole.
Van Gass said: “Invictus is his family, basically. There’s so many familiar faces that he’s not seen in a while, and again to all the nations, just to catch up with them again. He’s back with his own people, he’s back in an environment that he’s so natural in and that he cares about. I think that’s the most important thing – this great depth of care that he has for the games.”
The couple arrived at the Invictus Games in The Hague, the Netherlands, on Friday, after they secretly jetted to the UK to visit the Queen. The Sussexes, both wearing suits, walked towards a friends-and-family reception in the warm sunshine at the Zuiderpark, where the games are being held. Harry wore a navy suit and Meghan wore an all-white suit with a white handbag.
