Prince Harry speaks to the NATO Military Committee via videolink from his Montecito mansion about the Invictus Games

Prince Harry has addressed NATO’s military committee via video link about the role of his charity Invictus in supporting wounded, injured and ill servicemen and veterans.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, spoke to the committee ‘about the breadth and development of the Invictus program and the progress it is making to expand the scope of its mission’.

Although Harry himself did not attend the meeting in New York, a delegation from the Invictus Games group was sent.

The meeting comes a year after the 2023 Duke’s Invictus Games documentary “Heart of Invictus” aired on Netflix, drawing new attention to the plight of wounded soldiers.

Harry and his wife Meghan Markle signed a five-year deal worth £80 million with the streaming giant in 2020, shortly after deciding to retire from public life.

They have since aired a six-part autobiographical series ‘Harry & Meghan’.

Two more shows are said to be in the works, one focused on Meghan, which Netflix says will “celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship.”

The other is the brainchild of Prince Harry and offers “unprecedented access to the world of professional polo, shot primarily at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida.”

Netflix said: ‘The series will pull back the curtain on the sport, which is best known for its aesthetic and social scene, and capture the full story of what it takes to compete at the highest level.’

Last week, a US think tank announced it was reopening the case to reveal Prince Harry’s secret US visa application after he admitted to drug use in his memoirs.

The Heritage Foundation questioned why the Duke of Sussex was allowed to enter the US with his wife Meghan in 2020 after he spoke about the use of cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in his book Spare, released in January 2023.

The Washington DC-based conservative group filed a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) after a Freedom of Information request was denied. Heritage claimed Harry’s document was of “great public importance” but lost the case on September 23 after Judge Carl Nichols ruled it should remain private.

The case was brought because the law requires visa applicants to declare whether they have used drugs.

In his controversial memoir, the duke said cocaine ‘did nothing for me’, adding: ‘Marijuana is different, that really helped me.’ Heritage’s original lawsuit argued that U.S. law “generally does not render such a person admissible” to the country.

Failure to do so could result in deportation, and Heritage wanted the US government to release the data to see what Harry said about drug use.

Now Heritage has filed a new lawsuit in an attempt to reopen the case, saying it was barred from seeing private submissions to the judge by the Biden administration.
