The Invictus Games are a multi-sport event and initiative that the duke started as a celebration of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women and all their abilities.
"I hope you're excited, I'm probably a little bit nervous – I'm both. But I can't wait to see all of you and have the whole community together once again – it's been too long."
The last Invictus Games took place in The Hague, the Netherlands last year 2022, after it was bumped back from 2020 due to the pandemic. As a result, the Germany games were also delayed, but will now be taking place from September 9 to 16, 2023.
