The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have continued to make headlines since their 2020 relocation to California, and step away from royal life. And from Prince Harry’s Invictus success, to Meghan Markle’s career change, the royal couple has been front and centre. Harry was last seen in the UK in May after losing a long-running battle with the Home Office over changes to his security arrangements. Harry is set to make a speech, present an award to an “inspirational child” aged between four and six and meet and talk with seriously ill children and their families.

We spent around an hour filming with him at a central London hotel where we watched him lead the games at a children’s party for one of his charities. He couldn’t resist joining in and was an impressive winner of the “who could eat a strawberry lace the fastest” competition. Messages came from the Royal Family, who haven’t publicly acknowledged Prince Harry’s birthday for two years. These Games have shone a spotlight on the “unconquerable” character of service men and women and their families and their “Invictus” spirit.
