Prince Harry brought infectious energy to the Invictus Games in Vancouver, celebrating with athletes and sharing touching moments during the sitting volleyball finals.
The Duke of Sussex was seen enthusiastically cheering from the sidelines as Nigeria and Brazil battled for victory at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
Fully immersed in the excitement, he joined the post-match celebrations, sliding onto the court on his knees to pose for a group photo with the finalists.
During the medal ceremony, Harry made an affectionate gesture by planting a playful kiss on a bald team member’s head as he moved through the line of athletes. The heartwarming moment was met with laughter and cheers, adding to the emotional intensity of the event.
The Duke spent the day interacting with competitors, family members, and supporters, creating lasting memories. At one point, a Brazilian athlete, overwhelmed with emotion, broke down in tears and leaned into Harry’s shoulder for comfort, reported GB News.
Throughout the event, he enthusiastically engaged with the crowd, joining a Mexican wave and celebrating with jubilant gestures from the stands. He also took time to acknowledge Ukraine’s bronze medal win, sharing a congratulatory moment with their team.
Harry’s next major appearance will be at the closing ceremony, where he will participate in the symbolic passing of the Invictus flag to Team UK, as Birmingham prepares to host the 2027 Games.
