ITV daytime stalwart Lorraine Kelly has delivered a powerful, impassioned defence of Prince Harry and his Invictus Games legacy, directly confronting the event's critics during a segment on her popular morning show.
Speaking with characteristic candour on Lorraine, the Scottish broadcaster dismissed negative commentary surrounding the Duke of Sussex's involvement, instead shining a spotlight on the Games' transformative role for service personnel and veterans coping with physical and psychological injuries.
"This is what he does, and he does it so well," Kelly stated emphatically. "He's really, really good at this. And it's something that's so important to him, and you can see that."
Her monologue served as a robust endorsement of Harry's work, emphasising that the project's focus should remain squarely on the participants. She expressed palpable frustration that the narrative was being overshadowed by personal criticism, arguing that the achievements of the competing athletes are what truly matter.
The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry in 2014, is an international adaptive multi-sport event for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women. The most recent iteration took place in Düsseldorf, Germany, last year, with the next event scheduled for Vancouver and Whistler in 2025.
Kelly's defence underscores a continuing thread of support for Harry and Meghan's charitable endeavours, even as the couple faces intense media scrutiny on other fronts. Her comments have resonated with many viewers who applaud her for prioritising the cause over the controversy.
