“A week ago I stood here and told you how important it is to be able to carry your country’s flag again,” said the Duke of Sussex. “So many of you have told me that it hit you right here. For many of you, the uniform you wore last week will tell a new story.”

“And for others, it might bring new meaning to your old uniform,” the estranged king continued. “But I’m here to remind you that after all this, you don’t have to rely on a uniform and you shouldn’t feel lost without one. Because everything you need is already within you.”

Founded by Harry in 2014, the Invictus Games serves as an international multi-sport event for wounded, injured and ill service members and veterans.

The Post has contacted the Duke of Sussex for comment.

A representative told the Post on Sunday: “Look at the speech and you will see there is no truth to it. His words were aimed at the competitors, not anyone else. This is nothing more than clickbait speculation.”

Several British media outlets appear to have taken his words as a dig at the British monarchy, which banned Harry from wearing his military uniform during the Queen’s funeral in September 2022.

According to Buckingham Palace, Harry was not allowed to wear the Blues and Royals’ No. 1 dress uniform because he was no longer a senior family member and had been stripped of his titles in 2020 when he and his wife Meghan Markle, 42, moved to California .
