Prince Harry jumped on a video call with his former army teacher Vic Wales ahead of the Invictus Games, which begin on April 16, and he couldn't help but joke around.

"Is my PTI from Sandhurst in here somewhere?" Harry asked the people on the call. "There she is. I can't believe after, how many years — 15 years? — our paths are about to cross again."

"You used to shout at me so much," he added of the teacher, whom he met while he was at Royal Military College Sandhurst.

"Needed it," one of the athletes told the prince.

"I needed it? Yeah, cool — well, that's also fair enough," the dad-of-two responded.

The event was postponed due to the ongoing pandemic, but this time around, it will take place in The Netherlands. "You realize that no one, not just you guys, no one's got any excuses for not being fit now," he said. "For a lot of you, you've already, as far as I'm concerned, you've already won gold by just getting to this point. The fact that you are sitting there now wearing that strip and you are able to wear the Union Jack on your arm again, that means so much to every single one of you."
