Prince Harry issues powerful reminder about military uniforms during Invictus Games

Prince Harry issued a powerful reminder about military uniforms during his closing speech at this year’s Invictus Games. Harry – who served 10 years in the British Army himself – praised veterans for showing people how “joy can emerge from struggle”. He also recalled how he spoke to participants about the opportunity they had to represent their country in the games, after serving in the military. “A week ago, I stood here and told you about the significance of being able to wear your nation’s flag again. And so many of you have told me that hit you right here,” he said, while gesturing towards his heart. “For many of you, the uniform that you’ve been wearing this past week will give you a new story to tell. And for others, it may give your old uniform new meaning.” Click here to subscribe to The Independent: https://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Independent About The Independent: Making Change Happen.
