Duke of Sussex Subtly Addresses ‘Weak Moral Character’ in Powerful Invictus Games Speech
Prince Harry has spoken out following Donald Trump’s recent criticism of Meghan Markle, delivering a pointed message during the Invictus Games opening ceremony.
While Trump’s remarks—calling Meghan “terrible” in the midst of discussions about Harry’s US visa—sparked widespread reactions, the Duke of Sussex appeared to address the issue without mentioning the former president directly.
During his speech, Harry reflected on the strength and values upheld by the Invictus community, seemingly making a broader statement about leadership and integrity.
“At this moment, when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, no lack of weak moral character in the world, the values you embody—the way you carry yourselves—not only at the Invictus Games but each and every day… your courage, your resilience, your humanity… illuminate a path forward for us all. And for that, we thank you,” he said.
The Duke’s remarks came as he praised the spirit of the Games and the athletes who inspire through their perseverance. While he did not name Trump directly, his words were widely interpreted as a response to the former president’s attack on Meghan.
