Prince Harry has an awesome day meeting the United Kingdom's 2020 Invictus Games athletes

<strong><a href="/tags/0/prince-harry">Prince Harry</a></strong> stepped out to the Honourable Artillery Company in London on Oct. 29 to meet the UK team that will compete in the 2020 <strong><a href="/tags/0/invictus-games">Invictus Games</a></strong>. <p>Of course, the cause is close to his heart, since it supports wounded veterans and servicemembers and helps them find connection and support through the power of sport. Harry is a veteran himself, having served in Afghanistan in 2007-08 and 2012-13 before leaving the UK army in 2015. <p><strong>Click through the gallery (or keep scrolling if you're on mobile) to see the best photos from his day!</strong> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images

He was in a serious mood, too, of course, and was very keen to talk to athletes about how the Invictus Games has helped them. <p>Photo: &copy; Paul Grover - WPA Pool/Getty Images
One athlete gave him a stuffed animal, and the Duke of Sussex's expression was perfect. We think it's probably for <strong><a href="/tags/0/archie-harrison">Archie Harrison</a></strong>, who will be six months old in just a few days! <p>Photo: &copy; Paul Grover - WPA Pool/Getty Images
Harry, who has always been a hugger, was giving lots of embraces out at the event! <p>Photo: &copy; Paul Grover - WPA Pool/Getty Images
