LOS ANGELES: Prince Harry took a break from paternity leave to announce the return of his Invictus Games, which supports the rehab and recovery of wounded veterans.
"It's time to spread the news," he said. "Something big is coming to Germany."
Harry and his wife, Meghan, welcomed their second child, Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, last week in California. The couple had their first child, Archie Harrison, in 2019.
After Harry's brief message, the video showed footage of a man running through the streets before entering a stadium in Dusseldorf before flashing the dates Sept. 9-16.
The Invictus Games will return in the Hague, Netherlands, from April 16-22 in 2022, before it heads to Germany the following year.
