Prince Harry, who is a British Army veteran, made a meaningful address just hours after it was revealed that he would be moving back to his home country along with his wife and children.
The Duke of Sussex was in the U.S. capital, Washington D.C., spoke from experience and addressed the concerns service members face as they integrate back into the society. On Wednesday, Harry attended an intimate roundtable discussion with U.S. veterans, defence officials, military spouses and non-profit leaders.
Harry, the Patron and Founder of Invictus Games, hinted that he would soon launch a “commercial” solution that “really values those who served rather than expect them to volunteer.
“The world needs more heroes,” he told the roundtable. “And it’s not about creating more heroes because they already live among us. It’s about being able to really value their expertise, their experiences.”
He added that it was refreshing to hear the latest generation of veterans express an interest in “purpose” and “service after service”.
Later, while speaking to The Associated Press, King Charles’s younger son expressed how skills were “not being transitioned over within the civilian world”.
Noting how “very, very small group of people are making decisions that are impacting the entire world” around politics and technology, he stressed that the younger generation in leadership role (and more women) would make a difference.
