Prince Harry FAMILY, LOVE & HIS INVICTUS TRIUMPH

- JANINE HENNI

Prince Harry is beaming as he takes in the energy of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, the latest chapter of the international adaptive sports tournament he founded in 2014 to support wounded, injured and sick service members and veterans. Speaking exclusively to People in Vancouver on Feb. 9, he shares his excitement: "It's incredible to be back in Canada." The Duke of Sussex, 40, has reason to feel at home. This is the first country to the Invictus Games twice, following Toronto 017-where he and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, made their first public appearance as a couple. It's also where they briefly lived after stepping back from their royal roles in 2020. Now, seven years later, Meghan, 43, is once again beside him, offering unwavering support for the cause that means so much to him. "To have my wife here supporting me is amazing. I love that she's by my side," he says. "It's such an important piece to this whole adventure."
