Only a few months after the release of their two-part docuseries "Harry & Meghan," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are back with another Netflix docuseries, this one more focused on a group of wounded war veterans who found solace in competitive sports

Called "Heart of Invictus," the Netflix docuseries spotlights the 2022 Invictus Games, a global sporting event founded by Prince Harry shortly after his 2008 tour of duty in Afghanistan. In addition to his military service, Harry said he drew inspiration from the Warrior Games in the United States, where he witnessed the power sports can have on wounded, injured and sick veterans. Over the course of five episodes, the documentary introduces us to several ex-military competitors who strive to find purpose and strength after tragedy and loss.

Although Harry takes on a more background role throughout "Heart of Invictus," he still makes several appearances — sometimes on his own and other times, alongside a few veterans and his wife. In true celebrity fashion, he also uses those moments to spark some buzz by throwing subtle shade at his family, namely his father King Charles III. In recent months, both Harry and Meghan have embarked on a media campaign to reinforce their separation from the Royal Family and heighten their own public image. First came "Harry & Meghan" and then, "Spare," Harry's tell-all memoir released earlier this year. "Heart of Invictus" is the couple's third (and probably not final) platform that could be used to garner support from their fans, followers and naysayers.
