Prince Harry has insisted an amputee former marine should be "really proud" of his triathlon efforts. Lee Spencer had aimed to achieve "something no one, able-bodied or disabled, has done before" with his Triathlon of Great Britain - which was due to see him swim 22 miles, cycle 1,060 miles, and hike 45 miles - but after starting the challenge on 27 July, he was forced to give up on 5 August due to "excruciating" pain in his stump.
After admitting he was "absolutely gutted" to abort the triathlon, Harry gave him a call to praise his efforts and lift his spirits.
In a clip of their video call shared to Instagram, Harry told Lee: "You basically circled the whole of the U. K. and climbed two mountains, and after that, and only after that, did your stump start to give you a few issues to the point where you had to pull out of the very last phase of it. "You put so much into this.
I hope that you're really happy, I know you're not happy, but I hope that you feel really proud of yourself to have done what you've done. " The Duke of Sussex joked he wouldn't "dare" ask Lee what he planned to do next.
