After a year that would have exhausted any normal human being – with the past 12 months including, but not limited to, the death of his grandmother, the coronation of his father, the publication of a much-ridiculed memoir, several court cases and a succession of increasingly embarrassing tell-all interviews – Prince Harry could hardly be blamed for wanting to take the rest of 2023 a bit easier.
The man who emerges from Heart of Invictus is a good deal more likeable and accessible than the arrogant, petulant figure in his last Netflix show
Certainly, his relative absence from the recent spotlight suggests that he agrees with the rest of the world that he has been over-exposed of late. But his Netflix deal (some would call it a Faustian pact) which resulted in the dismal Harry & Meghan soap opera, has now borne further fruit in the form of Heart of Invictus, a documentary following the 2022 Invictus Games in the Netherlands, the Prince Harry masterminded initiative for disabled or injured servicemen and veterans.
