Prince Harry has been named by Time magazine as one of the world's 100 most influential people in sport for 2026, with the Duke of Sussex topping the 'Leaders' category in recognition of his Invictus Games work, according to the publication's newly released inaugural sports list.
Prince Harry using sport as his chosen way to stay connected to the Armed Forces community he once served alongside. For those who have not followed his post-royal trajectory closely, Invictus began in 2014 as a relatively modest international tournament for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women. It has since grown into a global movement that blends elite competition with rehabilitation, mental health support and a certain defiant camaraderie that more conventional sporting events simply do not attempt to carry.
