  • Prince Harry wore an aggressively orange outfit in the name of getting the word out about the Invictus Games.

  • But wait, what about that EXTREMELY EXTRA orange ensemble you came to learn about, you ask?


There are people who support good causes and then there are people who *support* good causes. You can go ahead and file Prince Harry into the second category and if you would like to verify his credentials, just take a look at the aggressively orange outfit he wore in the name of getting the word out about the Invictus Games.

A little background: This weekend, the charity’s Twitter account shared a new video of Harry having a virtual hang sesh with members of The Netherlands team (specifically, Jelle van der Steen, Wouter Bakker, Fenna Geugjes, and Alina Zoet) ahead of the fifth annual Invictus Games, which are being held in The Hague, Netherlands next month.

At the beginning of the call, Harry asks the athletes to help him practice his Dutch for the occasion, asking them to help perfect his pronunciation of the phrase, “Good afternoon—you’ve done a great job” in Dutch. Spoiler alert: He apparently pronounced it correctly right away (because, clearly, Harry didn’t *just* start prepping for his own charity’s event).

Since he nailed his “Good afternoon—you’ve done a great job” line so quickly, Harry asked the assembled athletes what other Dutch words he absolutely needed to know before he got to The Hague and the answers were “stroopwafel” (which is the name of a Dutch caramel cookie) and “Scheveningen” (which is a seaside area).

But wait, what about that EXTREMELY EXTRA orange ensemble you came to learn about, you ask? Well, before signing off from the video chat, the athletes were all “Hey, Harry, don’t forget your orange hat" (because orange is the national color of The Netherlands, in case that’s not a piece of trivia you already had logged away). Harry played it cool, pulling out a bright orange fedora (and “playing it cool” in the lead-up to “pulling out a bright orange fedora” is already an accomplishment, for the record), with an attitude of like “oh yeah, I almost forgot about this bit we were going to do.”

But he did not forget. He SO did not forget.

Next, Harry pulled out a pair of matching, traffic cone orange sunglasses:

And then he reached up to unzip his plain black hoodie:

And then things got REAL (as in he REALLY went all in on this head-to-toe human Cheeto look because he cares about his good cause more than whether or not he looks like a Cheeto/traffic cone/love child of Ed Sheeran and a pumpkin:

Never change, Harry.
