Speaking this weekend, the Queen’s grandson said “I’ll be chuffed
to bits when I’m having a beer with Dave Henson, captain of the GB
team – we turn 30 at exactly the same time, on Sunday night.”
The Prince disclosed that he feels “quite old” turning 30 but both
he and the GB team captain were looking forwards to it.
The Invictus Games will be brought to a close on Sunday night with
a star-studded concert featuring acts including the Foo Fighters
and Kaiser Chiefs in front of a sell-out crowd of 26,000.
The soon-to-be 30-year-old and Mr Henson, became firm friends
during the build up to the competition that is exclusively for
wounded servicemen and women being held at the Queen Elizabeth
Olympic Park.
Mr Henson, a former Royal Engineers Captain, was the captain of
Team GB and won gold in the 200m sprint on the first day of the
three-day event.
Prince Harry launched the Invictus Games earlier this year after
being inspired by a similar event in the US. He hopes that the
event will help rehabilitate servicemen and raise awareness for the
injuries that they have suffered. It is hoped that the contest will
become an annual event.
