Prince Harry fulfilled a promise to skydive with a 102-year-old veteran, and immediately phoned his worried wife, Meghan Markle, afterward to tell her he landed safely.<\/p>\n
The royal made the jump in Toronto on Friday to raise awareness and money for two Canadian military charities, True Love Patriot Foundation and Sunnybrook. He was also promoting the Invictus Games, which takes place in Birmingham in 2027.<\/p>\n
Last year, he met WWII veteran Ed Marshall, who told the Prince he had skydived on his 100th birthday. Harry was so moved by his derring-do that he promised Marshall he would skydive with him when he returned to Toronto.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not in the business of letting people down, but you cannot let a 102-year-old veteran down,\u201d he explained. He also gushed about Canada, sharing that, \u201cI love Canada. My wife lived here for seven years; most people thought that she was Canadian. Look, Canada has a very special, a special place in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harry told CTV<\/a> that although he didn\u2019t need to \u201cconvince\u201d Markle, she was \u201cvery relieved once we were down.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt took a while to get up, so I think she was like, \u2018Are they down yet? Are they down yet?\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n The royal kissed the ground when he landed. CTV<\/p>\n He then called his wife, Meghan Markle, seen here in April 2026, to reassure her that he landed safely.
