Prince Harry is disappointed. The Invictus Games, which he organizes every year, will not take place in 2020. In a video on the competition's Twitter account, reserved for wounded soldiers in exercise, the Duke of Sussex explains that the global health situation, due of the coronavirus pandemic, makes this decision inevitable.
"This is the most sensible and safe decision for you and your families and everyone involved in the games. I'm sorry I can't organize this for you. Take care of yourself. Take care of your families and others, ”he says.
