Prince William finds cause for celebration as Harry pushes Invictus forward

As Prince Harry continues to deal with the fallout from his latest court defeat, Prince William focused on a much more heartening commitment.

I was happy to spend the day with the schoolchildren as they celebrated the Wales team ahead of the Commonwealth Games.

The Prince of Wales visited Ysgol Gymraeg Llundain (The Welsh School in London), where he met with Welsh teachers, pupils and athletes before joining the children in sending their best wishes to the Wales team as they prepare to compete in Glasgow.

Sharing photos of the engagement on Instagram, the Prince wrote: “A wonderful afternoon at Ysgol Gymraeg Llundain, a bilingual Welsh-English primary school, where pupils help Welsh language and culture continue to thrive in London.

“Joining the children in sending their best wishes to @team_wales ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and meeting the athletes as they prepare to represent Wales on the international stage.

“Good luck to everyone competing!”

Meanwhile, Prince Harry continued his work with the Invictus Games Foundation following the setback in his legal battle.

The Foundation shared takeaways from its latest conference, which focused on how the Invictus Movement is creating lasting change beyond the Games, including bringing Uganda into its growing international community.

Addressing delegates, the Duke of Sussex said: “I hope you leave this conference with a deeper understanding of what the Invictus Movement really is.

“Not simply a week of sport every few years, but a community united by a belief: that the undefeated human spirit exists in every nation and that our shared responsibility is to create the conditions in which it can flourish.”

UK Minister for Veterans and People Calvin Bailey MP also praised the initiative, saying the Invictus community demonstrates that recovery is stronger when nations work together to provide long-term support to wounded, injured and ill service personnel and veterans.
