As the highly anticipated 2025 Invictus Games approach, all eyes are on Prince Harry and his preparations for another monumental chapter in his ongoing mission to support wounded and injured military personnel.
The Games, which the Duke of Sussex founded, will take place in Vancouver and Whistler and are set to kick off with a grand opening ceremony featuring performances from iconic artists such as Coldplay and Katy Perry.
While Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, is expected to be by his side throughout the event, a lingering rift with the royal family—particularly with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William—means they won’t be present. Despite this, the Duke of Sussex will receive a surprising show of support from another royal family.
Prince Joachim of Denmark and his wife, Princess Marie, have confirmed their attendance at the Games, providing an unexpected royal backing for Prince Harry’s efforts. The connection between Harry and Joachim dates back to 2017 when the two last met during a military event in Copenhagen, and their reunion at the Games will showcase the close camaraderie that transcends royal family boundaries.
With the Invictus Games returning to the UK in 2027, speculation swirls around whether Meghan Markle will accompany Harry to British soil, particularly given his ongoing legal battles regarding security during visits to the UK. After losing a case to maintain police protection, Harry’s visits back home have been less frequent, adding more intrigue about his future appearances at events in the UK.
The Invictus Games will undoubtedly be a pivotal moment for Prince Harry, not only due to the athletes it honors but also because of the unexpected royal support he will receive from beyond his immediate family.
