Sometimes, gifts can be a hit or miss situation. (Remember when Princess Margaret gave Prince Harry an, er, interesting Christmas present?) Thankfully, the Duke of Sussex, 40, knew exactly what he was doing during his latest royal outing.

This week, Prince Harry took a solo trip to Vancouver to visit the Seaforth Armoury. While there, he spoke with the students, thanked the veterans and learned more about the Invictus Games 2025 School Programme, which is designed to raise awareness and support people with disabilities. 

After delivering a powerful speech, Prince Harry surprised the kids with a special gift: tickets to the Invictus Games 2025 Opening Ceremony. The royal invited each student (plus one family member) to attend the event, which will take place on February 8, 2025.

The Duke of Sussex also gave a powerful speech where he discussed the impact of the Invictus Games. “It’s an honor to be back here with you,” he said. “Meeting the kids today, seeing them learn about the Invictus Games has had a profound impact on me because this is where Invitus starts to go even wider into the community, into schools in Canada, and hopefully around the world.”

Prince Harry continued, “I want all of you especially the kids here, and the young people to imagine what it’s like for these individuals, for the challenges that they have overcome to be amongst team members again wearing the same strip, wearing the flag on their chest or their arm coming out into a stadium full of tens of thousands of people cheering them on.”

Keep up the good work, Prince Harry.
