Prince Harry is a much-loved member of the Veteran community, and insiders working with him on the Invictus Games have revealed what he is really like. Harry founded the games in 2014, which use the power of sport to “inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect for wounded, injured and sick Servicemen and women”.

His colleagues and friends have spoken to PEOPLE Magazine, and one person has revealed a telling statement about the prince. David Wiseman, a former serviceman and leading voice for the Invictus, says Harry is “dedicated” to the Invictus Games. David says even though Harry has a lot going on in his personal life, he still shows up for the Invictus Games.

He says: “[Harry’s] committed so much of his time and energy to the Invictus Games Foundation, events and everything that’s building towards the games in 2027.”

He adds: “We’re incredibly grateful that he’s so committed, so dedicated, so passionate about the Invictus movement.”

In a heartwarming seven-word statement, he says: “He’s through and through a true leader,” reports PEOPLE.

David continues: “You can see that when he’s in a room with [the veterans] he comes alive and he gets his energy from that.

“It’s been a distracting week for him, but I’m also positive he will have gained a lot of energy by hanging out with people with whom he has so much affinity,” he adds.

Prince Harry served in the armed forces for 10 years himself, undertaking two tours in Afghanistan.

Harry eventually earned the position of Captain in the British Army, having chosen this branch of service over the Royal Navy, which other members of his family have leaned toward.

On the Royal Family’s official website, it says: “Prince Harry is committed to ensuring that wounded servicemen and women, who have given so much for their country, should be given the respect and support they deserve to lead fulfilling lives post recovery.”
