Royal Event of the Day: May 13

This is not really a sartorial thing, but I can't think of a better way to end the week than with a few highlights from the Invictus Games in Orlando. The closing ceremony was last night, and the whole games have been chock full of not only Prince Harry goodness, but goodness of every kind.

A short look at the Games


Speeches from Prince Harry and Michelle Obama at the opening ceremony


Prince Harry tries on USA Invictus Team Member Elizabeth Marks' Team USA jersey in the competitor's tent at the swimming pool. She joined him for an interview on ESPN, which you can see here, and gave him back the gold medal she won because she wanted it to go to the British hospital that saved her life at the last Invictus Games.

I have so many favorite moments, I just don't even know where to start. Have you been following the Invictus Games? I hope you'll share your favorite moments in the comments.
