Prince Harry is set to take part in a charity skydive later this month, marking one of his first public engagements since moving back to the UK with Meghan Markle and their children. The Duke of Sussex, 41, will jump alongside fellow veterans to raise money for Sunnybrook and the True Patriot Love Foundation, two Canadian organizations supporting military communities.
The event was inspired by Harry’s meeting with 102-year-old World War II veteran Ed Marshall at Sunnybrook’s veterans center in Toronto last November. Marshall, who trained as a paratrooper, told Harry about completing a charity skydive for his 100th birthday, and the idea stuck.
Marshall will not take part in the jump, but his grandson Bailey is expected to attend in his honor. The exact date and location have not yet been announced.
Harry has long tied his public work to military service. He spent 10 years in the British Army, served two tours in Afghanistan, and founded the Invictus Games for wounded, injured, and sick service members.
Now that his wild child days are behind him, the skydive shows he may still be a rebel at heart. Click to explore his journey from royal troublemaker to father, veteran advocate, and ex-royal.
