Royal engagements in Whistler

The morning visit to Squamish Nation was a cultural experience for the royal couple. They joined in the festivities, playing musical instruments alongside the dancers. This visit was significant as it celebrated the 100th anniversary of the amalgamation of sixteen Sḵwx̱wú7mesh villages into the modern Squamish Nation. Following this enriching experience, Harry and Meghan enjoyed lunch with patrons of the Invictus Games Foundation, furthering their commitment to the cause.

Invictus Games: A legacy of support

Founded by Prince Harry in 2014, the Invictus Games have become a beacon of hope and rehabilitation for injured and sick military personnel and veterans worldwide. The Games provide these individuals with the opportunity to challenge themselves through sports akin to the Paralympics. The inaugural event took place in London, and since then, it has traveled to various cities, including Orlando, Toronto, Sydney, The Hague, and Dusseldorf. The 2025 edition in Canada continues to uphold this legacy, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex actively involved in its success.
