Prince Harry, who supports Ukrainian veterans, spoke about a "difficult" conversation with his children about the war

Prince Harry shared details about the difficult conversations he had with his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, about the reasons for the military's participation in the Invictus Games. This international tournament, founded by the Duke of Sussex in 2014, supports wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women from around the world, including Ukrainians, whom he cares about the most.

In an interview with People, Prince Harry admitted that his children are interested in the stories of the participants and their life challenges. "They are fascinated," he said. However, explaining to kids why someone has no limbs or why they look different proved to be a challenge.

"Our kids are still so young, but Archie, especially, is asking those questions. As every parent knows, as soon as you open the door and ask these questions, or start a conversation, more and more doors open," Harry said.

According to him, his 5-year-old son is already asking about landmines and the origin of military injuries, which, as the Duke admitted, is "a real Pandora's box."

Prince Harry emphasized that it is important to explain complex topics according to the age of children. He wants to convey to them that through sport, Invictus Games participants gain new opportunities and redefine themselves.

"I hope that my children will also play sports because it is very important for all of us," he added.

Once the competition in Canada is over, the Prince is looking forward to telling Archie and Lilibeth about the tournament. "After we came back from Dusseldorf (to the 2023 Invictus Games - Ed.) a year and a half ago, I sat down and looked at a lot of the photos I had. They were fascinated when they saw these guys moving around the field in wheelchairs, playing basketball, wheelchair rugby, sitting volleyball, whatever," the Duke said.

The Duke of Sussex, who personally supported the Ukrainian team during the Invictus Games, emphasized that the Games will remain important as long as there is a need for them. "I would like to see them become unnecessary, but as long as there are veterans who need support, we will continue to hold them," Prince Harry summarized.

It is worth noting that the Duke is particularly supportive of Ukrainians. Thus, during the awarding ceremony for medalists in winter sports (16 awards went to Ukrainians), the chevron of the Rubizh Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine was noticed on his jacket.

Earlier, OBOZ.UA wrote that Prince Harry received a symbolic gift from Ukrainians and touched the network with his reaction. The athletes handed him a package that contained a hoodie with an embroidered inscription "Freedom". Prince Harry was pleased with the gift and gladly accepted it. Moreover, during the conversation with the Ukrainians, he hugged the package.
