Prince Harry dropped F-bomb in emotional phone call that showed different side to him

Prince Harry made a pointed dig about “hanging up” military uniform before giving advice to former servicemen in his Netflix documentary.

The highly anticipated docu-series – Heart of Invictus – followed a group of athletes on their road to the Paralympic-style sporting competition the Invictus Games. Harry set up the sporting event in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel and veterans, with the most recent games taking place in Dussledorf, Germany.

The 2027 Invictus Games is set to take place in Birmingham UK – which may pose a dilemma for the Sussexes. As founder of the Games, it is more than likely that he will travel to the UK for the event in 2027. And since he started dating Meghan in 2017 she too has joined him at every event, with their Invictus Games appearances some of their most high-profile as a couple.

However, as the Games will be in the UK in three years time, it raises the question if Meghan will attend. That’s because earlier this year, Harry lost a High Court battle over the loss of his UK police protection when he is in the country after quitting Britain for the United States. .

In the third episode of his documentary, Harry can be seen on a video call with the UK Invictus team – where he appears to make the dig about military uniform. Encouraging them ahead of the competition last year, he tells them: “You did it every day, wearing uniform and for one reason or another that uniform had to be hung up. That service that runs in your blood, our blood, never leaves the body. It is there.”

The heartbroken comment comes after Harry was banned from donning military uniform after he and Meghan Markle quit their royal roles and Harry was forced to give up his military affiliations. At King Charles’ Coronation earlier this year, he wore a morning suit – in contrast to other royals.

He also wore a suit for his beloved grandmother the late Queen’s funeral last year – despite calls for him to be allowed to wear military dress. However, one exception was made when Harry wore uniform during a vigil around his grandmother’s coffin in Westminster Hall. It was later claimed that Harry was left “devastated” at having to remove the “ER” symbol from his uniform, even though Prince William kept his. After the initials were not removed from William, a pal told The Sunday Times: “He [Harry] is heartbroken. To remove his grandmother’s initials feels very intentional.”

Reports suggested Harry nearly decided to wear the morning suit anyway to avoid “humiliation”. On the same call, Harry could be heard dropping the F-bomb as he offered his advice to the competitors. He said: “So when you’re out there kicking a**, trying to win a medal, or just having fun, making your family incredibly proud, when you feel that feeling in your throat and you feel like you might want to cry, then just f***ing cry. I mean that.”
