Prince Harry’s advice to his son

The series consists of five episodes ranging from 45 minutes to one hour.

In one scene from the Invictus Games The Hague in April 2022, Harry talks about his son Archie.

Hello! magazine shared the video where Harry can be seen address a large stadium audience.

He said: “I talk to my son Archie about what he wants to be when he grows up. Some days it’s an astronaut; other days it’s a pilot, but what I remind him is that no matter what you want to be when you grow up it’s your character that matters most.

“And nothing would make his mum and me prouder than to see him have the character of what we see before us today, you.”

What are the Invictus Games

The inaugural Invictus Games took place in London in 2014. It is a platform to showcase the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a broader understanding for wounded, injured and sick Servicemen and women.

His visit to the Warrior Games in America in 2013 inspired Harry’s Invictus Games.

This year’s games will occur in Düsseldorf, Germany, from September 9 until the 16.

In addition, the series also follows the organisers as they work to prepare the Games as well as each nation’s team, and supporting the competitors and their friends and families.

Prince Archie turned four in May this year, and Harry and Meghan‘s daughter, Princess Lilibet Diana, turned two in June.
