It's April 17th. From Hollywood to your headphones, this is entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wrapped up their Australia trip with a hilarious moment in Sydney Harbor. On the final day, a veteran named Joel Vanderswan handed them custom flip-flops inscribed with Garde Hazard and Garde Migs. The couple cracked up laughing with Meghan and stitches and Harry grinning-wide. Harry even joked that he usually gets budgie smugglers from Invictus Australia instead. This ties back to a tradition started at the 2018 Invictus Games in Sydney, when he got a pair of those tiny swim briefs that went viral. It's become a fun ritual at every game's event since. They also met Vanderswan's family, including his four-year-old daughter Charlotte, his wife Alexandra, and nine-month-old twins named Harrison. William? Meghan said Harry was great at twirling, so he spun Charlotte around when she asked to dance, delighting everyone nearby.

After that, the pair boarded a wheelchair-accessible boat with Invictus Games supporters and sailed to Harvard. Media boats trailed them and a helicopter buzzed overhead amid big press interest. Other vessels haunt and waved on the sunny day. Invictus Australia shared how the games provide year-round support through sports for recovery and connection. Their chief executive called it a full-circle moment, noting they'll help over 30,000 veterans and families by 2026 through community programs.
