When asked about life since returning to the UK and the past two weeks' highlights, Harry responded, "My highlight? Oh, I don't know. Do I dare share that with you? Everything has been very hectic."

Harry added that his family has "gotten stuck in" and the children have started school, emphasizing their happiness.

"It's great to be back in the UK and it's wonderful to see so many familiar faces, old friends, as well as new faces and new sponsors here. Above all, perhaps, is my Invictus family. It's been a very special journey over the past 12 years. So, it's all family," he said.

Prince Harry frequently stopped to chat and take selfies with well-wishers, admitting he was "a bit hot, sweaty, and covered in makeup on his tuxedo" due to the warm welcome from many friends.

James Corden, a close friend of Prince Harry, along with famous stars like Michael Buble, Elton John, Chris Martin, and Ed Sheeran, attended the ceremony. The event raised over 2,2 million USD.

Harry, 42, who served 10 years in the British army, founded the Invictus Games in 2014. This multi-sport event supports wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women, both active duty and veterans.

"Sometimes winning is simply getting out of bed or asking for help. It's finding a job, reconnecting with family, or putting away the uniform and realizing that your dedication and mission don't end with it," he shared at the ceremony.

Prince Harry's appearance occurred in a sensitive context, immediately after excerpts from his uncle Charles Spencer's new book about Princess Diana were published. Prince Harry chose to remain silent, focusing on activities related to the Invictus Games when faced with questions from reporters about the book's details.
