Prince Harry tells Invictus athletes how 'the wound is where the light enters'

Prince Harry talked of the resilience of the athletes in the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games where he said the “wound is where the light enters you.”

The Duke of Sussex quoted the Persian poet Rumi, from the 13th century, whose words of encouragement and wisdom, were popular amongst the athletes at the Invictus camp, he said.

Harry founded the Invictus Games to aid the rehabilitation of injured or sick military personnel and veterans from across the globe, by giving them the challenge of competing in sporting events similar to the Paralympics.
