In effusive praise, Garrett lauded Prince Harry's remarkable humility, recounting their epic bonding experience during a boat outing last year. "Spending time with him on the boat was simply awesome," Garrett recounted warmly.

"He's a fellow veteran, and like all veterans, when we come together, we engage in spirited conversations, share hearty laughs, indulge in good-natured banter, and tease one another. Prince Harry seamlessly blended in, becoming one of us.

It was an incredibly amazing experience." Garrett further reflected on the Duke's exceptional ability to establish an instant rapport, saying, "He makes you feel like you've known him forever."

Prince Harry's Heartfelt Medal Moment

In an exhilarating wheelchair rugby match against Team U.K., Garrett secured a gold medal, an achievement made even more memorable by Prince Harry's delightful participation in the award ceremony.

Describing the touching moment, Garrett revealed, "During the gold medal presentation, just as he was about to drape the gold medal around my neck, he playfully tugged on my beard! He shared a few heartfelt words and enveloped me in a warm embrace.

It's truly remarkable to be acknowledged by him, to have him approach me and treat me like a dear friend. This is the essence of the bond shared by veterans; even after months or years of separation, when we reunite, it feels as if no time has passed.

That's precisely how it feels when I converse with Prince Harry."
