Invictus Games Celebrate a Decade of Triumph
In a poignant moment of reflection and celebration, Prince Harry is set to commemorate a significant milestone for an event close to his heart. On May 8th, St Paul’s Cathedral in London will host a service marking the 10th Anniversary of the Invictus Games, the international sporting event he founded. This occasion will not only celebrate the achievements of the Games but also serve as a rare visit back to Britain for Harry, who now resides in the United States with his family.

The upcoming service at St Paul’s Cathedral will not only honor the Games but also feature readings by Prince Harry and British actor Damian Lewis. It will be attended by wounded veterans and members of the Invictus community, celebrating “a decade of changing lives and saving lives through sport,” as stated by the organizers.
Prince Harry’s visits to Britain have been sparse since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, making his presence at this event all the more significant. His last appearance in Britain was in February for a meeting with King Charles following the monarch’s cancer diagnosis. With the palace recently announcing Charles’s return to public duties after successful treatment and recovery, this anniversary service is poised to be an uplifting reunion.
The Invictus Games have not only provided a competitive outlet for veterans but have also shone a light on the power of sport to heal and unite. As Prince Harry returns to celebrate this milestone, the legacy of the Games continues to inspire and evolve, touching lives across the globe.
