As the Invictus Games 2025 draws closer, excitement builds for the royal figures who will be attending this prestigious event. The international sporting competition for wounded veterans, founded by Prince Harry, is set to be held in Vancouver, Canada, and several high-profile royal figures are expected to make their presence known.
Among the first confirmed attendees are Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark, who are set to attend the games next month. The Danish Royal Household officially confirmed the couple’s participation, adding further prestige to the event. Both royals have embraced a life outside the traditional royal roles, having relocated to Washington, D.C. in 2023. Their decision to step away from royal duties came after Queen Margrethe II’s decision to remove the princely titles of their children, Count Henrik and Countess Athena. Since then, the couple has enjoyed a more private life, with Prince Joachim now serving as a defense attaché at the Danish Embassy in the U.S.
Their attendance at the Invictus Games 2025 places them in good company, as several members of other royal families have shown strong support for the event in the past. Despite the British Royal Family’s reduced involvement in the games in recent years, their participation continues to enjoy widespread support from royals around the world, particularly those with a history of backing initiatives that promote military veterans.
The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry, hold a special place in the hearts of many, offering wounded soldiers a chance to compete in a variety of sports. As the event grows in popularity, royal figures such as Prince Joachim and Princess Marie’s presence further elevates the event’s global significance. Their involvement in the upcoming games is sure to draw attention and add to the event’s continued success, giving wounded veterans an opportunity to showcase their resilience and strength.
