On Nov. 19, the “InvictusGames25” Instagram page shared a video.
The video featured the founder of the Invictus Games, Prince Harry, sitting in a chair in the middle of the East Side Ink Tattoo parlor in New York City. “This is where people get tattooed, right?”
Harry was patiently waiting for his tattoo artist to meet with him when country singer Jelly Roll appeared.
(Warning: The below video contains language some may find offensive.)
A confused Harry asked Jelly Roll why he was wearing gloves, saying that he had only asked to meet with him to see if Jelly Roll was willing to participate in the Invictus Games.
That’s when Jelly Roll strikes a deal with the prince, saying if Prince Harry would agree to get an Invictus Games-inspired tattoo, then he would agree to do the Invictus Games. “Have you done this before?” Prince Harry questioned Jelly Roll. “Practically,” he answered.
After agreeing to the deal, Jelly Roll tatted the Games “I AM” symbol on Prince Harry’s neck, adding “Jelly Roll” underneath it.
While Prince Harry hasn’t confirmed one way or the other, it’s likely the bit and the likely fake tattoo was all in good fun.
Either way, viewers loved the video.
“‘Have you done this before?’ ‘Practically.’ Oh, this is good,” one commenter quoting the video wrote in the comments.
“Great video for an awesome announcement!” another fan wrote.
“I love when Harry gets goofy,” another comment read.
The 2025 Invictus Games are set to take place in Vancouver Whistler, British Columbia from Feb. 8 to Feb. 16.
Prince Harry, a veteran who also completed two tours in Afghanistan, founded the games in 2014 to offer a competitive outlet for wounded and sick soldiers, both active duty and veterans all over the world.
As a result of his work, Harry won the Pat Tillman Award at the ESPYs this year.
