When basic morals and empathy are abandoned in favor of power and control. But I\u2019m not gonna get into all that now!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harry&#8217;s speech came a few weeks after he bemoaned the &#8220;weak moral character&#8221; in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 40-year-old royal gave a speech at the opening of the 2025 Invictus Games &#8211; which he set up for wounded and sick military personnel and veterans in 2014 &#8211; at the BC Place stadium in Vancouver, Canada, and praised the &#8220;fearless&#8221; competitiors and the support they offer one another amid a time of &#8220;difficulty and division&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told the 40,000 assembled in the stadium: &#8220;In this moment of difficulty and division in many parts of the world, we gather here in Vancouver in a spirit of unity. We represent 23 nations. Speak many different languages and reflect the full breadth of the world\u2019s religions and faiths.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Beyond any differences, here at the Invictus Games, we are grounded in mutual respect, competing fiercely but believing in one another, supporting one another and rooting for one another.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Listen, the Games were born more than a decade ago from a promise that I made to myself \u2014 a promise to uphold my obligation, my sacred obligation after my own decade and privilege of military service \u2014 to do whatever I could to help my fellow brothers and sisters heal and to champion everything that we stand for.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Over the past decade, I&#8217;ve lost count of the times that we&#8217;ve heard you tell us that the Invictus Games &#8216;saved you.&#8217; Respectfully, I disagree. Invictus didn&#8217;t save you. You saved yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was you who pushed through the doubt and despair. You who summited your own mountain and brought us along with you. It was you who kept going even when you didn\u2019t think you had any more to give. We didn\u2019t do that. You did.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The Games simply reveal what is already within you. That scarcest \u2014 and most precious \u2014 of the world\u2019s resources: character. A spirit of fortitude and perseverance that can never be defeated.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That is the magic of the Invictus Games.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;At this moment, when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, no lack of weak moral character in the world, the values you embody \u2014 the way you carry yourselves \u2014 not only at the Invictus Games, but each and every day&#8230;your courage, your resilience, your humanity&#8230;illuminate a path forward for us all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/prince-harry-appears-take-swipe-donald-trump-1414469.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>28 February 2025 Prince Harry has declared there is a &#8220;sickness in leadership&#8221; in an apparent swipe at Donald Trump.
