The 2-year-old keeps his options open. Archie sometimes wants to be “Kwazii from Octonauts,” Harry said. “If you’re laughing, then you’ve seen it.”

“But what I remind him is that no matter what you want to be when you grow up, it’s your character that matters most,” the Archewell Foundation cofounder told the Invictus Games participants, all of whom are wounded, injured or sick veterans. “And nothing would make his mum and me prouder than to see him have the character of what we see before us: YOU.”
The England native continued, “You as a community have overcome immense challenges, and together, you are healing and teaching the world as you go. You as individuals are people with substance, resilience, strength and heart. You have the heart of Invictus.”
