The Prince, 39, said the new centre, which will helpr war veterans with physical and mental rehabilitation in Abuja, Nigeria, shows servicemen and women will not be ‘defined by their injuries’. Speaking at a reception hosted by the Nigerian Chief of Defense Staff Christopher Musa during the Duke and Duchess’ ‘royal’ tour of the country earlier this month, Harry said: ‘Seeing the plans for the new Invictus Centre gives me goosebumps’.
He told guests he was glad Nigeria had joined the Invictus Games, and that athletes at the last competition ‘represented their service and this country, extraordinarily — won medals and came back with smiles on their faces.’
