Adorable moment Prince Harry challenges boy to snow tubing race at Invictus Games

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, raced Hamish Greenstreet down the slopes in Whistler, near Vancouver in Canada, where the Invictus Games is taking place this week

Poignant footage captures Prince Harry challenge a 10-year-old boy to a tubing contest at the Invictus Games.

The royal, 40, raced schoolboy Hamish Greenstreet down the slopes in Whistler before celebrating with a triumphant “yes!” at the finish line. Hamish, whose dad is competing in the Games for Team Australia, met the Prince and Meghan alongside his mum Angela and brother Taj at a friends and family event in Whistler on Tuesday morning.

He admitted he had been “a bit nervous” to race Harry, but described the experience as “really fun” and “exciting”. When asked if he had ever met a prince before, he exclaimed: “Hell no!”.

Hamish had earlier urged Meghan: “Go down the thrill lane!”. But the mum-of-two made clear she was too scared and responded: “No way!”. The duchess later completed a ride on the slower lane, before putting her hands on her head and exclaiming: I mean! You guys! Well, we did it!”.

Speaking about her husband Harry, she added: “Meanwhile he’s racing on the thrill lane with a ten-year-old!”. Meghan, 43, had earlier squealed as she set off own the snow-covered ramp, admitting: “No, no I really don’t want to do this.”

It comes after it was revealed that the Duchess won’t be joining Harry at the rest of the Games – instead travelling back to Montecito to see her children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

Speaking to Hamish’s brother Taj, the duchess asked: “Did you go down the thrill lane?” “No, I went down the chill one,”. Their mother, Angela Greenstreet, became tearful when asked what Invictus has meant to their family.

Speaking to royal writer Elizabeth Holmes, who was given special access to the event, she said: “It’s been a lot of therapy for my husband, just getting into sport and doing things and realizing it’s OK to not be OK. I’m very grateful to Prince Harry for speaking out about mental health. He’s not a normal guy. Prince Harry’s the prince.

“But he suffers just like everybody else, so it’s truly amazing that everybody suffers, no matter where you come from. Everybody is touched by the military. We’re very grateful he’s spoken out and made Invictus what it is.”

Meghan and Harry were filmed walking hand-in-hand to the start of the tube run before she left Whistler shortly afterwards in order to return to California to care for their children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

She landed back in California on a private jet on Tuesday afternoon local-time after spending five days at the multi-sport competition after arriving in Vancouver alongside Harry, 40, on Friday.
