Quick Summary

Prince Harry spoke at the Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner & Awards in London on Thursday, discussing his family’s recent return to the UK and their children’s move from a prestigious school due to security concerns.

Harry highlighted the successful fundraising event, which raised over €1.7 million for Invictus, and expressed his happiness at being back on British soil with his family.
