The Duke of Sussex continued, "And I’m sure you’re all physically exhausted — who wouldn’t be? But I hope you are mentally stronger than when you arrived."
"We may have provided the platform, but you provided the magic. And don’t you ever forget that. We’ve all witnessed the true impact sport has had on your recovery and on your post-traumatic growth. But you will never truly know the impact your actions this week have had on millions of people around the world,” he said, adding, “You have opened people’s hearts, through your vulnerability, through your resilience and through your sheer abilities. You have shown us that joy can emerge from struggle, and for that, we are eternally grateful."
