Barely 24 hours after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their first Netflix documentary series focusing on the Duke of Sussex's Invictus Games, a new date for the next event has been announced.

The latest round of the games will take place in The Hague in the Netherlands from April 16-22 in 2022, it was confirmed on Wednesday.

The games for wounded, sick and injured veterans and armed forces members have already been postponed twice amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

However, Harry and the teams taking part from around the world can move ahead in preparing for the next Invictus Games.

Organizers in The Hague are expecting more than 500 participants from 20 countries to take part in 10 adaptive sports events. 

The safety and well-being of the participants always come first, with a focus on their recovery, the Invictus Games Foundation says.
