Prince Harry is currently somewhere in the world (Africa?! Canada?! Home in England?!) with his new wife Meghan Markle, presumably on their honeymoon ahead of their next engagement as a couple, June 9's Trooping of the Colour, the Queen's official birthday parade. But the Duke of Sussex reemerged briefly this morning to make a work announcement on the Kensington Palace social media accounts.

In what is very likely a statement Harry prepared before he left for his trip, the prince revealed that the next Invictus Games will be in The Hague in the Netherlands, in 2020. This is the event Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made their public debut as a couple at last year, making Harry's choice to announce the location during their honeymoon particularly meaningful-and arguably strategic to guarantee it gets as much news coverage as possible.

Harry said, "I am delighted to announce that The Hague is taking up the challenge of hosting the fifth Invictus Games in 2020. The city will soon become the motivation for hundreds of servicemen and women using the Invictus Games to inspire their recovery from physical and mental injuries.”


Its exact date hasn't been announced yet. This year's Invictus Games will be in Sydney October 20-27. Both Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to attend in one of their first international trips as a married couple.
