On April 17th, Prince Harry and his wife Megan ended their Australia trip on a high note, dancing with a four-year-old girl named Charlotte and then sailing Sydney Harbor with Invictus game supporters. They posed for picks right by the iconic Opera House steps before hopping on a special wheelchair accessible boat packed with past competitors. Earlier that Friday, the couple met veteran Joel Vanderswan and his family, including his wife, nine-month-old twins named Harrison and William and Little Charlotte. Joel gifted them custom flip flops and scribe with Gede, Haza and Gede Megs. Harry cracked a joke about usually getting budgie smugglers from the Aussies. Folks went wild for the royals, waving from big boats that haunt as they passed on that sunny day. Media boats swarmed their vessel, chopper buzzing overhead, all hyped by the couple's visit. Invictus Australia used the sale to spotlight year-round support for Vets through sports, aiding recovery and connections.

CEO Michael Hartung called it a full-circle moment since sailing kicked off in Sydney back when Harry founded the Games. Harry first hit Sydney in 2015 for army training and returned in 2018 for the Games here. Inspired by America's Warrior Games, Invictus unites 500 competitors from 22 nations with the next one hitting Birmingham in July. 2027, pushing help for over 30,000 Vets and families by 2026.
