Langley also received a personal message from Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, Founder and Patron of Invictus Games, who had hoped to sail with\u00a0Gladiator<\/em>\u00a0but was unfortunately unable to join the team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In accordance with a long-standing royal association with Cowes Week, the historic event was attended by HRH The Princess Royal, who joined the bi-centennial celebrations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

About Invictus Games<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0Invictus Games<\/a>\u00a0is an international multi-sport event first held in 2014, for wounded, injured and sick (WIS) military service personnel, both serving and veterans. The word\u00a0invictus\u00a0is Latin for \u2018unconquered\u2019, chosen as an embodiment of the fighting spirit of the wounded, injured and sick service personnel and what they can achieve, post-injury. The Invictus Games were founded by\u00a0Prince Harry<\/a>\u00a0in 2014 . Inspiration came from his 2013 visit to the\u00a0Warrior Games<\/a>\u00a0in the United States, where he witnessed the ability of sport to help both psychologically and physically.<\/p>\n
