Prince Harry’s issue over the Australian government’s hesitation to fund Invictus for another three years has just been overturned and the news couldn’t be better, some say, for the father-of-two.

A well placed source even showed off the Duke’s excitement in a chat with Heat and according to their claims, “it’s no secret Meghan would like to see Harry doing something that generates serious revenue, but right now it’s literally impossible to steer him in that direction, he’s so zeroed in on Invictus.”

While they admit Meghan for sure admires how devoted he is, and “no one can say she doesn’t support him and cheer him on in this,” but the fact of the matter is that “she’d love to see him think outside the box and tie this passion for Invictus into something lucrative.”

However, its also obvious that “Harry just isn’t wired that way,” they added. “For him, getting the news that the Games would still be going ahead in Australia meant more than any Hollywood pay cheque ever could.”

Another thing is also that its really effected his dwindling confidence levels, the insider admitted. At the moment “he’s taking this decision [by the Australian govt] as proof that people still believe in what he's doing and, after so many setbacks, it's restored some confidence.”

As for those unversed with what’s been happening, the Australian government temporarily cut out funding and support for the Invictus Australia rehab charity, aimed at helping veterans, and the moment the news hit that the multi-year AUD$9 million funding package for Invictus Australia would not be renewed the reason sat, a response followed. According to the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) the reason was cost because as of right now sending even one competitor to the Invictus Games cost taxpayers $91,000. But shortly thereafter advocates swarmed the media explaining how beneficial the program was for their physical and mental health, causing the government to reconsider and choose to renew.
