Prince Harry made a special trip to the Musqueam Indian Reserve during a recent trip to Vancouver.

The Duke of SusSєx traveled to Canada in support of the forthcoming 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. During his visit, Chief Wayne Sparrow welcomed Harry, 40, to the Musqueam Nation’s Little House and met with three other Chiefs of the Four Host First Nations as well.

While in the Little House — which is a sacred space where family and community gather — Harry was introduced to young people from all four of the Four Host First Nations (Lil’wat Nation, Musqueam Indian Band, Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation). They shared cultures, values and vision for the future and gifts were exchanged from each of the four Nations.

In exchange, Harry gifted all the young people tickets to the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler opening ceremony, which is set to take place next year.

“It’s our ten-year anniversary this year, which is really exciting,” he told TSN on November 17. “The Invictus movement started back in 2014. It’s a sporting platform used for the rehabilitation and support for wounded soldiers, serving and veterans. We have 25 nations, growing all the time. It’s really an opportunity for the individuals themselves and their families to heal and rehabilitate.”

Harry also showed off his new ink — well, sort of — while promoting the Invictus Games, thanks to a collaboration with Jelly Roll.

Back in September, Harry was spotted visiting a tattoo parlor in New York City. Royal watchers were quick to raise their eyebrows at the surprise appearance but Us Weekly learned at the time Harry was shooting a promotional video.

Well, the full video was released on Tuesday, November 19.

“We’re giving you a tattoo about the Invictus Games,” Jelly Roll told the Duke in the clip. Harry seemed confused, responding, “Uh, no I came here to ask you to do the Invictus Games. There’s no tattoo in this. I can’t get a tattoo.”

If Jelly Roll was able to give Harry a neck tattoo, the musician would play at the Invictus Games.

“Wait, have you done this before?” Harry asked. Jelly Roll responded, saying, “Practically. Pretty much. Trust me, man, you wouldn’t want nobody else doing this but me.”

The enormous fake ink read “I am Jelly Roll” on Harry’s neck.

“How many people can say they tatted a Prince y’all? I am so thrilled to be performing at Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 Closing Ceremonies on February 16, 2025!” Jelly Roll captioned the clip shared via social media. “Tickets are available at invictusgames2025.ca/tickets. Here we go bubba – see you in February!”
