Prince Harry fulfills promise with skydive in Canada
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Prince Harry jumped from an airplane over Canada to fulfill a promise he made to a 102-year-old World War II veteran, Ed Marshall.
Harry met Marshall at the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre in Toronto, where Marshall shared a story about a parachute jump he completed for a fundraiser on his 100th birthday. The two men then planned a similar jump. However, a medical examination determined Marshall could not safely make the jump himself, so his grandson, Bailey, took his place.
Marshall still accompanied them on the flight and cheered them on. Harry explained that Marshall was disappointed he couldn’t jump but glad to be present, joking that they had to strap a parachute on him to be sure he didn’t jump alone. After landing, Harry immediately called his wife, Meghan, who was relieved to learn he was safe. Harry also playfully blamed Marshall for convincing him to undertake the skydive.
The proceeds from the jump will benefit Sunnybrook and the True Patriot Love Foundation, both organizations Harry supports. True Patriot Love originally connected Harry with Sunnybrook and helped bring the Invictus Games to Canada in 2017 and 2025.
