Prince Harry is giving Toronto some serious credit for changing his life, both professionally and personally.  

During his speech at the True Patriot Love Foundation’s National Tribute Dinner in Toronto on November 6 ahead of Remembrance Sunday, the Duke of Sussex thanked the city not just for hosting the Invictus Games twice, but for playing a major role in his love story with his now-wife, Meghan Markle.  Advertisement

“Truthfully and jokes aside, this city will always mean a great deal to me,” Harry, 41, told the audience. “You provided a wife for me and you hosted the Invictus Games in 2017, touchstones in my life both professionally and personally.”

The youngest son of King Charles III, who’s been a longtime supporter of veterans through the Invictus Games, praised Canada’s spirit and devotion to service members.  

“Together we witnessed something extraordinary,” Harry said. “The strength of the human spirit that shines when people who have served rise again through sport, teamwork, and a redefined purpose… something Canada embodies like no other nation.”

Harry also couldn’t resist a little humour, referencing Meghan’s deep love for the city where she filmed Suits. “Many people around the world believe she’s Canadian,” he joked, adding that Toronto could forgive her “Dodgers loyalty” for one night — a nod to the recent “hatgate” controversy that saw him wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap at the World Series.

The event, held to honour the True Patriot Love Foundation’s work supporting veterans and their families, marked another meaningful return to Canada for Harry after this year\“s Invictus Games.
