At the Invictus Games, Prince Harry shared a heartfelt story about his five-year-old son, Archie, who has recently become curious about his late grandmother, Princess Diana.

Archie’s curiosity about his grandmother, Lady Diana
During an interview with Canadian broadcaster CTV at a wheelchair basketball game in Vancouver, "Archie was asking about landmines so I was talking about how some of these guys [participating in the Invictus Games] were blown up..." This conversation led to Harry explaining the dangers of landmines and sharing the stories of those affected by them.
Though Harry was initially unsure how to approach the sensitive subject, he found a way to discuss the importance of Diana’s humanitarian efforts with Archie.

Diana's legacy and Harry's memories
Princess Diana brought global attention to the issue of landmines during her iconic 1997 visit to Angola, where she was photographed walking through a minefield in protective clothing. These powerful images left a lasting impact on the world.
Harry shared: "Interestingly, it gave me a chance to talk about my mum, his grandma, which I didn't even really consider." This moment of reflection allowed Harry to pass on his mother’s legacy and her tireless work for humanitarian causes.
"He wanted to see videos and photos of her campaigning for landmines all those years ago," Harry added. It’s clear that Diana’s memory continues to captivate young Archie.
Invictus Games and Harry’s commitment
Harry continues his mother's work through the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014 to support wounded, injured, and sick service members. This year’s Games in Canada saw the introduction of winter sports.
At the opening ceremony in Whistler, Harry took a moment to thank the crowd and invited Meghan on stage to officially open the Games. The Invictus Games remain a platform to raise awareness of veterans’ challenges and celebrate their achievements.
