Key Takeaway
Prince Harry celebrates his 39th birthday at the Invictus Games, an event he founded in 2014. The heartfelt “Happy Birthday” sing-along from the athletes and participants adds an extra special touch to the occasion.
Celebrating at the Invictus Games
Harry, accompanied by his wife Meghan Markle, was present at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf to spectate the intense volleyball match between Germany and Poland. However, as soon as the game came to an end, all eyes were on the Duke of Sussex, who is turning 39 today.
Both Meghan and Harry seemed elated as the crowd broke into the familiar tune of “Happy Birthday,” with Harry playfully trying to divert some of the attention he was receiving. Even the Polish team serenaded him with another birthday song before he requested to take a picture with them.
A Meaningful Celebration
For Harry, celebrating his birthday in this manner holds a particularly special meaning. He founded the Invictus Games in 2014, and every year the event brings together injured, sick, and wounded veterans to compete in various sports.
Having the athletes, their families, and their friends wish him a happy birthday undoubtedly carries extra significance for the Prince.
Pre-birthday Celebrations in Germany
