Prince Harry received
some excellent news this week, and both he and his wife Meghan will
undoubtedly be delighted.
Ahead of the return of the
Invictus Games, it has been announced that the Canadian government and the
government of British Columbia are each committing $15million to support
the 2025 event, which is set to be held in Vancouver and Whistler in 2025.
The Prince founded the Games
back in 2014 and the Sussexes also made their first-ever public appearance at
the Invictus Games in Toronto three years later, where they looked so in love.
Canada holds a special place
in the couple’s heart for several reasons, as it is also where Meghan used to
live while filming the TV show Suits and where the couple lived
– and spent their first Christmas with son Archie – after stepping back as
senior working members of the royal family.
Meghan joined her husband to
attend the launch of this year’s Invictus Games in the Netherlands.

The Games, which give injured
and ill members of the military the chance to compete in a range of sporting
events, were postponed twice due to the pandemic before finally being held in
April.
Last week, Harry revealed
that two more nations would be competing in future events, as he welcomed
Colombia and Nigeria to the Invictus Games Foundation.
In a statement, he said:
“The world felt the power of our Invictus community last month in The
Hague and now I am delighted to announce that we have two new nations –
Colombia and Nigeria – joining our inspiring international family.

“As we continue to
harness the power of sport in recovery and rehabilitation year-round, I’m
proud to share that Invictus is now represented across every continent (except
Antarctica).
“The Invictus community
of nations is built by the resilience of the men and women who serve or have
served, and it’s a distinct honour to offer even more wounded, injured and sick
service personnel and veterans the opportunity to be included in the community
and programming we offer.”
