Prince Harry has cancelled the 2020 Invictus Games due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, as organisers are now looking ahead to the 2021 games.
The 35-year-old royal usually hosts the sporting event - which he launched in 2014 - every year, but has been forced to axe this year's games due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The 2020 games were due to be held in May in The Hague, Netherlands, but following the outbreak of the virus - which is also known as Covid-19 - Harry has decided to cancel the event until next year's games.
In a video message shared to the competitors of the 2020 Invictus Games, Prince Harry says this decision was the most sensible - and safest - option for all of you, for your family and everyone else involved in these games.
