The Duke of Sussex interrupted his parental leave on Wednesday to share a very special announcement with royal fans.
Prince Harry, who welcomed his second child, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, with wife Meghan on Friday, appeared in a video message tweeted by Invictus Games Düsseldorf 2023.
The clip shot in selfie-mode shows the Duke dressed casually in the Sussexes' Montecito home. Speaking directly to the camera, Harry says: "It's time to spread the news, something big is coming, Germany."
The footage then cuts to a montage of athletes during their training, revealing that The Invictus Games Dusseldorf will take place between 9 to 16 September 2023.
