PRINCE Harry will meet with the First Lady Dr Jill Biden tonight in a virtual event marking the annual Warrior Games.
The Duke of Sussex will honour Warrior Games athletes, their families, and caregivers after the 2021 event was postponed due to Covid.
The duo will be joined by Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin and Ken Fisher, Chairman and CEO of Fisher House Foundation tonight at 6pm ET (11pm GMT), the White House said in a statement.
It comes after the 2021 Warrior Games were cancelled due to Covid, having been due to start this week in Orlando, Florida.
Tonight’s event will be Harry’s first event with Dr Jill since she became first lady and since Harry and his wife Meghan moved to the United States.
The Duchess of Sussex, however, was not included in the list of participants for Monday’s event.
The Department of Defence Warrior Games is an annual event, first held in 2010, that celebrates the resiliency of wounded, ill, and injured active duty and veteran U.S. military service members.
Prince Harry first attended the Warrior Games in 2013 in Colorado.
Inspired by what he saw, he started the Invictus Games for wounded warriors a year later, which Jill Biden has attended with him.
The two games “share a deep bound,” Jill’s office said.
Jill Biden has made military families one of her priorities as first lady through her Joining Forces Initiative, which she also worked on when she was second lady.
Dr. Biden also this week returned to her job teaching in-person two days at week at a Northern Virginia community college.
