Prince Harry Consoles To Ukrainians At Invictus Games

The Hague, April 16 : The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Saturday said at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games that the “world is united” with Ukraine. Speaking in The Hague, Prince Harry said, “”You know we stand with you. The world is united with you and still you deserve more.” The ceremony was attended by members of the Dutch royal family and the Netherlands prime minister Mark Rutte as well. According to BBC, the Ukrainian team were given special permission by President Volodymyr Zelensky to compete at the competition for injured military veterans. The duchess said: “For each team, my husband and I both recognise it’s been a lot to get here, both physically and emotionally. Not least … for the Ukraine team, who we are all standing with.” The Duke of Sussex also paid tribute to the “bravery” of team Ukraine. He said: “Your bravery in choosing to come, and for being here tonight, cannot be overstated. “You told me yesterday when you decided to join us despite all odds, you said you came to be on this global stage, not simply to show your strength, but to tell your truth, the truth, of what is happening in your country. “You know we stand with you. The world is united with you and still you deserve more. And my hope is that these events, this event, creates the opportunity in how we as a global community can better show up for you.” According to The Guardian, a film crew is accompanying Harry and Meghan at the games as part of the upcoming Netflix documentary Heart of Invictus. The film is being produced by Archewell Productions, the royal couple’s recently launched television production company. The documentary will give glimpses of behind-the-scenes look at athletes competing at the Invictus Games, an international sporting event founded by Prince Harry for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.
