Prince Harry has made a poignant revelation about what has “held him together” in a new interview, following a huge honour this week. The Duke of Sussex featured as one of the leaders in Time magazine’s inaugural 100 most influential people in sports list.
Appearing first on the list, Harry was praised for founding the Invictus Games in 2014, his passion project for wounded Servicemen and veterans, after serving in the British Army. In a statement to the outlet, the Duke spoke about Invictus and said: “What we’ve managed to achieve through Invictus over the years is not only to give people their purpose and their meaning back, but give them their identity back.” He also commented on how the Games meld his passion for sports with his desire to give back to veterans.

The Duke said: “Sport held me together.
“I was one of those kids at school who did not enjoy classroom work. If it wasn’t for the sports field, and the amount of sports that were on offer, there’s no way I would have stayed in school.”
The Duke said he wants to keep growing his passion project and expressed his hope to make the Games a two-week event rather than one, to give more service members opportunities to compete.
Harry said: “One thing that we really celebrate at Invictus is not only do we change lives, but we save lives as well.
“That’s not based on anything other than the amount of individuals that come up to me and say, ‘If it wasn’t for Invictus, I would have killed myself.’”
King Charles’s younger son is set to return to the UK in July for the one-year-to-go event for the 2027 Invictus Games, which will take place in Birmingham.
It is not the first time that King Charles’s son has been featured in the magazine.
The last time Harry appeared on Time’s most influential list was in 2021, in the Icons category, alongside his wife, Meghan Markle.
He also appeared in the leaders category in 2018, before his marriage to the Duchess.
