The royal family might have given Princess Diana a hard time, but her youngest, Prince Harry, knows how to pay it back. The Duke of Sussex has always been a religious follower of his mother, the only family relative he has ever truly adored. Standing his ground was his beloved wife, Meghan Markle, who also considered the former Princess of Wales their guiding light. In this Invictus Season, here is one of the many instances where the Duke accredited his mother for being the driving force for his brainchild. 

Ahead of the 2016 Invictus Games, Prince Harry sat for the exclusive cover of People Magazine, giving a splitting image of his life so far.

Prince Harry was all praises of his mother 

As always, he was all for his mother, the iconic Princess Diana who inculcated in Prince Harry the virtues that he takes pride in. “I certainly hope and believe everything I do makes her proud,” expressed the Duke. In the 12 short years that he spent with his mother, he closely noticed the energy and lift she got from serving the underprivileged.

Regardless of their “background, ailment, or status” Prince Harry claimed her life, and those she helped changed for the better. Thus, speaking of his founded Paralympic tournament, Invictus Games, he confessed, “I honor my mother in everything I do. I am my mother’s son”. Time and again, he has often confessed how, after distancing himself from the royal family, he felt the constant presence of his mother. And with someone like Meghan Markle by his side, he saw pieces of Princess Diana in her further nurturing their relationship. 

For those unversed Invictus Games, which debuted in London in 2014, was an idea of Prince Harry put to execution. 

The Duke of Sussex and his story of Invictus 

Being an army veteran himself, Prince Harry could empathize with the hurt and injured warriors of war. Thus, trying to instill a new ray of hope within the fallen soldiers, Prince Harry launched the Paralympic-style sports tournament. It has contestants participating in it from different corners of the world who hail the Duke for giving them a new lease of life. 

Documenting the same, the military Prince has released his third project with Netflix, which is all about his and the warriors’ journey of Invictus. Capturing moments from the 2022 games, the five-episode series portrays the weaknesses taking the form of strength of the war heroes. This has come in the light of this year’s Invictus Games, soon to unfold in the German state of Düsseldorf.
