Prince Harry has appeared in some newly-released pictures from the 2026 Warrior Games, just days before his return to the UK. Taking to Instagram, @warriorcarephotos shared pictures from the event, held last month in San Antonio, with Harry posing with some of the attendees.
Harry - who previously served in the British Army for a decade - first attended the event in 2013, the year before he launched the Invictus Games, and returned to San Diego in 2023. His wife, Meghan Markle, was not featured in any of the pictures, appearing to suggest that she did not attend alongside her husband.
One of the posts were captioned: "...From meeting athletes and their families to engaging with partners across the military and veteran community, it was an honor to be part of this inspiring event. We even had a special visit from Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex!"
The other post was captioned with: "Prince Harry Visits the Warrior Games. The 2026 Warrior Games brought together athletes, families, caregivers, and supporters to celebrate recovery through adaptive sports.
"During the Games, Prince Harry spent time with competitors, volunteers, and teams, highlighting the spirit of resilience and camaraderie that defines this event..."
Prince Harry is set to travel to the UK next week for the one-year countdown event for the 2027 Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham next July.
The 41-year-old will travel alongside Meghan and their children, seven-year-old Prince Archie and five-year-old Princess Lilibet.
Although Meghan and their children were due to travel, doubt was present last week after it was revealed that the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) had "paused" the independent Risk Management Board (RMB) without explanation.
The Duke of Sussex's office is said to have been informed previously that this would have been solved back in March.
A spokesperson for Harry has said that he "continues to explore every available option to enable the visit to proceed safely and to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK".
