Harry founded the Invictus Games Foundation, a sports competition for injured military veterans in 2014.

Last year during a gala at the Intrepid Museum in New York City, Harry said that he created the Invictus Games to show "that the men and women who have experienced service injuries, as well as their families, are the strongest people in the world ... and they deserve a platform to be seen, a platform to be recognized and a platform to be truly celebrated," according to People.

He made his first public appearance with Meghan Markle at the Toronto games in September 2017. The couple announced they were pregnant with their first child the same month they attended the Sydney Invictus Games in 2018.

This year's event, which was scheduled to take place in 2020, was postponed by the coronavirus pandemic. The games are scheduled to take place through Friday, April 22.
