Prince Harry visited a Birmingham school to launch Inspire. It is an education scheme linked to the Invictus Games.
Prince Harry went to Ninestiles academy in Birmingham to mark the launch of Inspire, an education scheme linked to the Invictus Games. Dressed casually, he played pickleball with Year 7 and Year 11 students and answered their questions.
When asked who inspired him, Harry pointed to the Invictus community, athletes who 'get knocked down but keep getting back up'. The visit came as Earl Spencer made comments about the royal family.
