The Invictus Games — which Harry founded in 2014 — is an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, and the cause is near and dear to his heart.
So much so, Harry and Meghan are working on a documentary for Netflix about the event.
"Since the very first Invictus Games back in 2014, we knew that each competitor would contribute in their own exceptional way to a mosaic of resilience, determination, and resolve. This series will give communities around the world a window into the moving and uplifting stories of these competitors on their path to the Netherlands next year," Harry said in a statement about his latest venture.

Next year, the games will take place in The Hague in the Netherlands from April 16-22.
There will be "more than 500 participants from 20 countries participating in ten adaptive sports events.
