In a rare moment of public comment about his son, Prince Harry,

King Charles offered a brief but telling response about the Duke of Sussex’s Invictus Games.

When asked about the competition, which Harry founded to support wounded veterans,

the King replied with a simple, yet profound, one-word statement: “proud.”

This remark comes amid ongoing attention surrounding Prince Harry’s role with the Invictus Games, a cause dear to his heart. The Games, which celebrate the resilience and strength of military veterans, were established in 2014 by Harry. Since then, the event has grown into a symbol of recovery, perseverance, and the power of sports to heal.

Although King Charles has largely remained tight-lipped about personal matters regarding his son, this rare acknowledgment of pride in Harry’s work reflects a subtle, but meaningful, expression of support for the Duke’s continued efforts to uplift and empower wounded service members.

The King’s comment, though brief, speaks volumes about the respect he holds for the initiatives that his son has championed, despite their complicated relationship in the public eye.
