Prince Harry leapt from a plane near Toronto to keep a vow to 102-year-old veteran Ed Marshall — and his very first call after touching down was to Meghan. Read on to discover the full story!

Daring Promise

The Duke of Sussex met WWII veteran Ed Marshall at Sunnybrook Hospital last November, where the two bonded over military service. Marshall had once marked his 100th birthday with a charity skydive, and Harry decided to follow through on a plan they hatched to jump together to raise funds for veterans.

Unexpected Substitute

Medical checks prevented Marshall from making the jump himself, so his grandson Bailey volunteered and leapt alongside Harry. Marshall still came aboard the flight and cheered the pair on as they completed the skydive.

Family Moments

After landing, Harry phoned his wife Meghan immediately; he said she was relieved once they were safely back on the ground. The duke playfully blamed Marshall for roping him into the stunt, while Bailey praised Harry’s willingness to share the moment with their family.
