Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, recently received a heartwarming tribute during his visit to Colombia, recognizing his significant contributions to the Invictus Games. Although he has stepped back from his official royal duties, Prince Harry continues to dedicate himself to the Invictus Games, a global sporting event he founded to support wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women.
During the second day of the Sussexes’ trip to Colombia, Harry and Meghan met with Colombian Invictus athletes, where Harry was presented with a special commemorative plaque from the Ministry of National Defense Veterans. The plaque was awarded in acknowledgment of Harry’s unwavering commitment to providing invaluable recovery opportunities through sports for Colombian Armed Forces and Police personnel, both serving and veterans.
An athlete delivered a touching message while presenting the award: “To Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, in recognition and gratitude for your dedication and invaluable opportunities for recovery through sports and the Invictus Games for Colombian wounded, injured, and sick Armed Forces and Police Personnel, serving or veterans.”

The Duchess of Sussex expressed her admiration for the athletes, saying, “They are all so incredible to watch.” Prince Harry added, “It’s amazing to see how many people can come together to form one team.”
During the trip, Meghan also received several gifts, including a painting and a beaded necklace with matching earrings. Her fashion choices, which diverged from traditional royal silhouettes, were praised by royal fashion experts. Meghan’s sleek and stylish outfits during the tour highlighted her personal narrative and continued evolution beyond her royal life.
Prince Harry’s dedication to the Invictus Games and his connection with veterans and servicemen around the world continues to earn him respect and admiration, as evidenced by this special tribute in Colombia.
