It is his heart’s project: In 2014, Prince Harry launched the Invictus Games, a sports competition for wounded and traumatized veterans. The 38-year-old served in the British military for ten years and was deployed to Afghanistan twice. According to him, encounters with seriously injured people played a decisive role in founding the Invictus Games. This year they are taking place in Germany for the first time.
The event was opened by Prince Harry on Saturday. “Good evening everyone and welcome to the Invictus Games 2023 here in Düsseldorf. I am a Düsseldorfer,” he said, among other things, in his speech. A few days after Harry, his wife Meghan traveled to the North Rhine-Westphalia state capital and appeared at a “Friends & Family” appointment on Tuesday evening.
In addition to all the euphoria, there were also protests against the Invictus Games. The games would contribute to a “normalization of war,” according to the arguments of the critics who demonstrated in front of the Düsseldorf town hall at the start.
