"Now that the Invictus Games has expanded to hosting a winter event too it's beginning to shadow both the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games and can become a major television event with the likes of Scott behind it.
"Harry and Meghan have the star power to drive the games and as we know it is Harry's sweet spot and something he is clearly passionate about.
"The documentary he made for Netflix wasn't the hit hoped for but it did do what it needed to do and inform and educate people about the games, their purpose and their importance too."
