For some, Prince Harry’s latest project is one of a highly-anticipated series–and its trailer has just been released!
The five-episode series titled Heart of Invictus is being released through the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s production company, Archewell Productions. It focuses on the inspiring stories of the Invictus Games–the international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick veterans and members of the armed services co-founded by Prince Harry.
The series, to be released on Netflix on August 30, provides an inspiring behind-the-scenes look at the athletes' journey to the Invictus Games and what goes on behind the scenes in the tournament.
In the first teaser released, Harry speaks to the participants, telling them: 'It is here at the Invictus Games that you realise that whatever you carry, it is the springboard to the next level.'
Harry also serves as an executive producer of the series and says he is 'incredibly proud' of what the participants have achieved.
'Our Invictus Games community represents some of the bravest and most dedicated individuals from 23 nations across the globe,' he said in a statement.
'Heart of Invictus is the incredible story of competitors brought together through service, who are now united through sport.'
He added: 'While in various stages of recovery from both visible and invisible injuries, these competitors and their loved ones give a compelling look at their journey to the Invictus Games, in a way that commands admiration and respect.'
The series was directed by Orlando von Einsiedel, winner of the Oscar for Best Documentary Short in 2017 for The White Helmets.
In a few weeks, Harry and Meghan will be heading to Europe for the next Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany, from September 9 until the 16th.
The History and Mission of the Invictus Games
Established by Prince Harry in 2014, the Invictus Games have grown into an international phenomenon that stemmed from his heartening experience when he attended the US Warrior Games in 2013.
Inspired by the incredible resilience and strength he witnessed, Harry decided to create a version on a global scale, and thus the birth of the Invictus Games.
Invictus, a Latin word meaning ‘unconquered’, encapsulates the spirit of these games and the individuals who participate. The event aims to harness the power of sport to help speed physical, psychological, and social recovery for service people, providing a platform where their tenacity and courage shine brightly.
Over the years, these games have drawn in thousands of competitors from around 20 nations–all military veterans who have suffered life-changing injuries, whether visible or hidden.
The inaugural Invictus Games held in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2014 saw over 400 competitors from 13 nations competing in nine different adaptive sports. It was a resounding success and paved the way for subsequent Games in cities like Orlando, Toronto, Sydney, and The Hague–each event growing in size and impact.
The heart and soul of the Invictus Games is its strong sense of community. It’s more than just an event–it is a movement of gratitude and respect for those who have stood their ground in the face of adversity and proved their invincible spirit.
