Story summary
Prince Harry addressed the NATO Military Committee virtually from Brussels on Thursday, reflecting on his experience leaving the British Army and founding the Invictus Games in 2014. Harry, who served for 10 years (2005-2015), shared that he felt a significant loss of purpose and identity after stepping down from military service. He emphasized the need for greater support for those transitioning out of the armed forces, highlighting the "enormous" resources spent on preparing individuals to serve but neglecting their needs post-military. The Duke noted the critical role played by both service members and their families, advocating for more attention to be placed on what happens after they leave active duty. Harry's remarks came just six years after he and Meghan moved to the US in pursuit of personal and financial freedom; they recently returned to live in the UK. He will stage the next Invictus Games tournament in Birmingham, reinforcing his commitment to supporting wounded, injured, or sick former service personnel.
