Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games as an international version of the Warrior Games, which is organized annually by the U.S. Department of Defense, and which the prince attended in 2013.

The first Invictus Games were held in London in 2014 and have been held in Orlando, Toronto and Sydney since then. Next year's games will be held in The Hague in May 2020 and 19 nations will compete.

\"The word 'invictus' means 'unconquered',\" explains the Invictus Games Foundation website. \"It embodies the fighting spirit of wounded, injured and sick Service personnel and personifies what these tenacious men and women can achieve post injury.\"

\"Let's put aside the tabloid drama, the media wars at the moment; this is what matters to Harry,\" said ABC News royal contributor Omid Scobie about Prince Harry's work. \"He's been all about charity work with veterans, making sure that they're noticed that the invisible injuries are front and center. That's what the Invictus Games is all about.\"

\"Participating in the games plays a significant part in the recovery journey of wounded, injured and sick Servicemen and women,\" a post on Prince Harry's official Instagram account said. \"Over the last few years, the stories of determination and perseverance that come out of each Invictus Game are nothing short of inspiring.\"
