Prince Harry Steps Into Sports Broadcasting at Grey Cup Pre-Show, Promotes Invictus Games: ‘Really Looking Forward’

As a dedicated follower of royal news and a passionate advocate for military support programs, I found Prince Harry’s recent appearance at the 2024 Grey Cup truly inspiring. Having followed his journey since he first took on the role as a patron of the Invictus Games in 2014, it was heartening to see him continue to champion this cause that is so close to his heart.


Prince Harry, having plenty of experience with cameras, recently utilized those skills to aid a cause close to his heart. In this instance, The Duke of Sussex assumed a fresh position by participating in the Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup pre-show broadcast, which was held prior to the event in Vancouver.

At the occasion in Vancouver on November 17th, 2024, Harry took everyone by surprise. Additionally, he expressed gratitude for the venue’s role in publicizing the Invictus Games, which are slated to occur in Canada in 2025. In an interview with commentator James Duthie during TSN’s broadcast of the Vancouver event, he mentioned his excitement for the upcoming game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts, stating, “I can’t wait for the match to begin.

The 2024 Grey Cup was held with over 50,000 spectators in attendance, and the Blue Bombers were considered strong contenders to emerge victorious. The Jonas Brothers were set to deliver an exciting halftime performance, a tradition that the CFL has maintained by inviting high-profile musical acts like Justin Bieber, Shania Twain, Green Day, and others for the halftime show in the past.

For the first time, the Prince attended the Grey Cup, and he shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming championship game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts. He mentioned that as soon as the game started, his excitement levels soared, and he even contemplated joining the league to potentially play as a quarterback if given the chance.

Harry additionally shared a glimpse into the upcoming 10th edition of the Invictus Games, a role he holds as patron since its inception in 2014. He elaborated that the Invictus Games serve as a sports platform, fostering recovery and assistance for wounded soldiers, encompassing both active service personnel and veterans. With 25 nations continuously expanding, it offers a unique chance for the participants and their families to heal and rehabilitate through sport.

In February 2025, the event taking place in Vancouver and Whistler is scheduled to be the 2025 edition. Over 500 athletes from approximately 25 countries are anticipated to participate, competing in various sports like wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, and wheelchair rugby. For the first time, winter events such as alpine skiing, snowboarding, and wheelchair curling will be featured in these games at these locations.
