The 2023 Invictus Games are just around the corner, which means Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are preparing for their travels to Düsseldorf in the days ahead. The Duke of Sussex made the Invictus Games, a multi-sporting event honoring and featuring injured, wounded, or sick servicemen and women, his passion project, and always makes a public appearance at the events. This year, however, the games hold even more significance for Prince Harry.
This year’s games are held Sept. 9-16, which means Harry’s 39th birthday will coincide with the event. There’s no telling if or how the Duke of Sussex will celebrate his special day, or if his wife has anything planned for her husband, according to Hello! Magazine. But we’re sure Harry will mark the occasion in a memorable way.
Prior to Harry and Meghan’s trip to Germany for this year’s games, the documentary series Heart of Invictus dropped on Netflix. The show, which prominently features the Duke of Sussex, chronicles the games and their impact on participants. Meghan also makes a cameo in the series, which has some pondering what her next career move will be.
But right now, all eyes are on Harry and the work that he holds incredibly close to his heart. In the past, Harry’s not only attended the games and talked with participating veterans, he’s also made opening remarks. Perhaps Meghan will take the lead and have some words prepared on her husband’s birthday? Regardless, the count down is on to the 2023 Invictus Games and Harry’s upcoming birthday.
Spare by Prince Harry
A common phrase with the British Royal Family is that you want “an heir, and a spare,” meaning you have secured the bloodline with an heir — and just in case something happens to the heir, you have a spare. And that’s exactly what Prince Harry was known as his entire time with the British Royal Family. After years of waiting, people are finally going to get to know an even closer, more vulnerable look at Prince Harry and his struggles. From losing his mother Princess Diana so suddenly and tragically, to how his life would play out afterward, Harry is baring it all for his memoir Spare.
