September 14, 2021 - 06:41 BST Danielle Stacey The Duke of Sussex has teamed up with First Lady Jill Biden for the first time since his move to the US.
Revealing what's important about the event, he continued:"It's not about the medals. It's not even so much about the winning, as far as most of us are concerned you guys have already won."These games are so important, whether it's the Warrior Games, whether it's the Invictus Games, it is ultimately the reminder of service, both at home and overseas."And that, again, is not just those who wear the uniform, but every single one of you.
The pair had planned to attend the Warrior Games in-person in Orlando, Florida this week, but the event was cancelled to ensure the health and safety of athletes and their families due to COVID-related concerns. Harry credits his visit to the Warrior Games in Colorado during his 2013 trip as the inspiration behind his Invictus Games, an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick service personnel.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the US after stepping back from royal duties in March 2020. They moved into their current family home in Montecito, Santa Barbara in July 2020.
