Unit 2: The Crown at Crossroads (2nde)

Prince Harry at the Invictus Games

The document under study is a video of the speech of Prince Harry during the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games in Vancouver, British Columbia (Province), Canada, in 2025. At first, he wants to honor the peoples from the First Nations because they are hosting the games on their lands. Moreover, he is addressing to the veterans who are taking part to the games. In his speech, he highlights the values of courage, respect, mutual support unity and equality. These are words late Queen Elisabeth would not have used. Therefore, Harry demonstrates a form of progress and modernization of the monarchy. It shows that the British royal family care about the other countries. They are not centered on themselves but they wish to connect more with the rest of the world.
