Prince Harry Sets His Sights on Canada as Invictus Games Prepare for 2025
Prince Harry will not be returning to the UK next month, and there's a solid reason for it: he’s basking in the afterglow of a "monumental victory" in his legal battle against News Group Newspapers.
The Duke of Sussex secured a "full and unequivocal apology" for phone hacking and serious privacy violations, bringing a dramatic close to what could have been a long and contentious High Court trial.
With that chapter behind him, Harry is now turning his attention to a cause that’s deeply personal: the Invictus Games.
The 2025 Games are set to make a huge impact in Canada, where they’ll take place from February 8 to 16 in Vancouver and Whistler.
This year’s Games promise to be more exciting than ever, with over 500 competitors from more than 20 countries showcasing their resilience and strength in adaptive sports.
For the first time, winter sports will be featured, including snowboarding, biathlon, and alpine skiing, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.
Earl Charles Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother, expressed his admiration for Harry’s commitment to the Invictus Games, stating that Diana would have been "immensely touched" and "rightly proud" of her son’s stand against such injustice.
This victory is just one of many in Harry’s ongoing battles, which also include disputes with the UK government over security arrangements for his visits.
Despite these ongoing challenges, the Duke remains resolute, drawing strength from his mother’s legacy as he continues to fight for privacy and justice.
