This Thursday, October 31, Prince Harry had the opportunity to participate in a NATO meeting via videoconference.
On this occasion, the son of King Charles spoke about the important mission of the Invictus Games Foundation, which seeks to uplift wounded veterans in service to improve their lives through sport.
It is certainly a subject he is passionate about. Now 40 years old, the Duke of Sussex took the moment to share with the NATO Military Committee his experience and work on the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014.
The meeting took place at NATO headquarters in Berlin, Germany, where a delegation from the Invictus Games Foundation was physically present.

However, the most curious part of the prince’s participation was that he showed a photo from his wedding to Meghan Markle.
While Harry spoke about serious and highly relevant topics, the background of his image revealed a personal touch that did not go unnoticed.
His wedding photo, which showed him and Meghan enjoying a carriage ride after the ceremony on May 19, 2018, at St. George’s Chapel, lent an endearing air to the gathering.
For his NATO appearance, Harry wore a black suit with a white shirt and proudly wore a poppy on his lapel, a significant gesture on the eve of Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom, which is observed on Nov. 11 to honor veterans who have made sacrifices for their country in conflicts such as World War I and World War II.
As the Foundation prepares for the upcoming Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler in 2025, which will take place February 8-16, the Duke of Sussex demonstrates that he remains committed to his mission to support and recognize those who have served in the armed forces, all while maintaining an endearing personal bond that resonates with his family history.
Yesterday, the #InvictusGames Foundation was given the opportunity to brief NATO’s Military Committee at @NATO Headquarters on our dedication to supporting international wounded, injured, and sick service members and veterans through sport. #IAMHere 💛🖤
