Harry pledges £10,000

The Duke has just committed £10,000 of his own money to the Invictus Recovery Space, which allows wounded, injured and sick service personnel the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Huge success in fundraising

Over £1.7 million has been raised at tonight's auction. The Duke pulled on his celebrity contacts to bag exciting prizes like having a private listening session with Michael Bublé or afternoon tea with Elton John and David Furnish. Both of these incredible prizes have been donated by the stars themselves for the great cause. Other prizes include a gorilla experience in Uganda and an expedition in the Alps.
