Prince Harry has opened up about the moment he saw the "real cost" of war.<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex's latest documentary, Heart of Invictus, was released on Netflix today (Wednesday, August 30) detailing the lead-up to the 2022 Invictus Games, which saw injured war veteran athletes from around the world travel to the Netherlands to compete in a series of sporting events.<\/p>\n

The six-part series also saw Prince, who served two terms in Afghanistan in his younger years, open up about the moment that "triggered" his understanding of war's devastating effects after he was pulled from the battlefield in 2011.<\/p>\n

"Somewhere after that there was an unraveling and the trigger to me was returning from Afghanistan," he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"As we took off, the curtain in front of me blew open and all you could see was the air hospital. Three young British soldiers all wrapped in plastic and their bodies in pieces.<\/p>\n

"I saw what only people had talked about.<\/p>\n

"That was the real trigger for, 'I'm now seeing the real cost of war.'"<\/p>\n

"Not just those individuals, but their families, and what that would mean and how their lives were literally changed forever."<\/p>\n
