Prince Harry’s Speech and Playful Banter
While Meghan appeared to be fully engaged in the excitement, Prince Harry took center stage with a warm introduction from Canadian singer Michael Bublé, who even performed a brief riff of “Feeling Good.”
Harry jokingly told the crowd, “Well, thank God Michael Bublé sang. Can you imagine bringing him out here and him saying, ‘You know what? I didn’t come here to sing…’ Thank you for the introduction.”
He also gave a playful shoutout to Whistler’s mayor, Jack Crompton, referring to him as “my ginger friend” before asking the audience, “Are there any other gingers in the house?”
Expressing his gratitude, Harry added, “Thank you all so much for the love and support for these incredible athletes. You all came up here knowing you were going to get cold, so thank you for the support!”
In a heartfelt moment, Harry called Meghan to join him on stage, saying, “My wife and I—come on out here! Come on!” As she stepped up beside him, they wrapped their arms around each other, and Harry playfully added, “Now she’s going to sing!”
The 2025 Invictus Games will continue until February 16, concluding with a closing ceremony at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena.
