Harry Dances with Australian Girl Before Sailing Around Sydney Harbour

The couple sailed with Invictus Games supporters on an accessible boat as the charity said it supports over 30,000 veterans and families.

  • On Friday, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited Sydney Harbour to sail with Invictus Games supporters, posing for photos at the Sydney Opera House's Man O War steps.
  • Before boarding, The Duke met veteran Joel Vanderzwan, who presented them with custom thongs inscribed "G'day Hazza," while The Duchess met Vanderzwan's wife, Alexandra, and their nine-month-old twins, Harrison and William.
  • The Duchess told Charlotte, Vanderzwan's four-year-old daughter, that her husband was "very good at twirling," prompting The Duke to dance with the young girl after she asked.
  • Invictus Australia chief executive Michael Hartung said the visit is a "full-circle moment," as participants shared how the organization uses sport for recovery, rehabilitation, and social connection.
  • The Invictus Games involve 22 nations and around 500 competitors, inspired by the American Warrior Games, with the next event scheduled for the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham in July 2027.
