Anyone amongst the royals who has been in top headlines for months now is undoubtedly the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry. Be it for his heated court scenes or the near catastrophe across the pool, the Duke, along with his wife, Duchess Meghan Markle, has continuously been in the limelight. However, despite the hectic life schedule, the duo has always made sure that they don’t miss out on the fun and games amidst work and chaos. Be it the most stressful times in their lives, neither of them has always managed to steal some time to invest in their hobbies and self-love. And so did Prince Harry, the previous day. 

Having rendered off his court hearings in the London high court, the Duke did not hold up longer at the Kingdom. Reports have it that the man on the mission did not even pay heed to any of his family members from the Windsors. After the last court proceeding, the Duke made his way straight from the Frogmore to land in Los Angeles, having surprised a fan flight attendant on his plane. However, the Duke, who was rumored to have been struggling to hold back tears, is now investing much time and space in himself. 

As reported by Express via Ok! Magazine, the Duke of Sussex attended a sports tournament entitled Warrior Games at San Diego. He seemingly made himself home with US commoners surrounding him at the stands. Together, the spectators cheered the wounded US military contestants who were competing in the seated volleyball match. The participants consisted of servicemen and women who have been physically hurt or disabled while serving the nation. 

Prince Harry and his longtime fascination with sports

As is evident from the description, the Warrior Games bear a striking similarity to one of the world-renowned tournaments patronized by the Duke himself. Prince Harry has been looking after the Invictus Games for a decade. In fact, it was the Warrior Games that actually laid the groundwork of Invictus for the Prince. 

As the story goes, it all started when the Prince was on a visit to the Warrior Games in the US for the first time. It was then that he realized how sports could be the one thread that could bind disabled fellow citizens and military servicemen and women in unison. Having served his nation himself, he could very well understand the opportunities it fetched for the veterans. Prior to that, as was the legacy of the Royal Family, the Duke also looked after the Rugby Union of the United Kingdom. 

Along with the Invictus, he was also the sole patron of the Rugby Union. However, following Megxit, the role was taken over by yet another celebrated royal within the House of Windsor.
