He’s the founder and patron of the Invictus Games, per Washington Post.
The duke’s attendance at the Invictus Games is also intertwined with his personal life.
The 2017 Toronto Games marked his and Meghan’s official announcement of their budding romance.
The following year, Meghan gave a heartfelt speech at the 2018 Australia Games during the royal tour there.
Of course, the Duke and Duchess now have a growing family of their own in California.
According to theDaily Mail, this trip abroad was the longest they had been away from their two children.
Throughout the separation, the Duchess of Sussex was thinking of her children.
On the second day of the games, Meghan joined a storytime event in the Zuiderpark.
James Stride, a British army veteran, was reading “Hairy Maclary” to 12 children.
“She was very friendly.”
Being around children and hearing a familiar story made the duchess feel a bit homesick.
“Meghan was quite chatty and told me she was missing her children,” Stride added.
After reading the story, Stride autographed the book and presented it to the duchess.
He had met Harry when they both served in Afghanistan in 2007.
The duchess also made a special connection with a child at the reading event.
Meghan also showed motherly consideration for a mom with a newborn baby.

During interviews in the Netherlands, the Duke of Sussex shared updates on his children.
Speaking of 10-month-old Lilibet, Harry toldPeople, “She took her first step just a few days ago!
Proud papa, here.”
Harry was also interviewed by two child journalists for#Vteam.
He finished the interview by embracing the two children.
As Archie and Lilibet get older, Harry hopes to make the Invictus Games a family outing.
The duke has already shown Archie a wheelchair basketball and rugby video from the Australia Games.
