Prince Harry hailed the wounded heroes of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan today on a flying visit to the United States. The Prince was joined by Michelle Obama as he officially launched the 2016 Invictus Games, for service personnel wounded or injured as they served the US and the UK. Harry, who will meet President Obama at the White House later this evening, arrived to loud cheers from soldiers and their families - many of whom had been waiting for hours to catch a glimpse of the royal. But not even the rain - the tail end of Hurricane Patricia - could dampen spirits, with locals saying the royal visit 'means a lot' and that Harry is 'very welcome'. Speaking ahead of Harry's appearance, Mary Cisowski, who is married to a US Marine veteran, said seeing Prince Harry and Mrs Obama is 'a real perk'.
