"Ten years on from the inception of the Invictus Games, we proudly stand as a community of 23 nations spanning every continent, fulfilling our mission of saving and changing lives," Harry said in a statement.

He continued, "I am immensely grateful to my friend Dominic, whose dedication and leadership transformed the Invictus Games from an ambitious idea to an internationally recognized movement."

The duke also praised for Reid’s “decade of relentless service to the Invictus Games Foundation.”
