Prince Harry jumps out of a plane in Canada to fulfil a promise connected to a charity event honouring a 102-year-old World War II veteran, Ed Marshall. Multiple outlets report the skydive takes place outside Toronto, with the veteran unable to attend due to his age. In one account, Marshall’s grandson, Bailey, steps in to take part for him.
After the jump, outlets say Harry makes a phone call to his wife, Meghan Markle, to let her know he has landed safely. The reports also describe the purpose as raising awareness and money for Canadian military-related charities. While coverage emphasizes the personal promise to Marshall in some accounts, the common thread across sources is the combination of the charity skydiving effort in Canada and the post-jump call to Meghan confirming his safety.
