The Samoa Hotel is said to feature private villas and a tree-lined pool, with a strong focus on sustainability. It comes after Prince Harry suffered a fresh Invictus Games blow in the wake of the Pat Tillman Award controversy after the foundation’s CEO announced his departure.

Dominic Reid, who was responsible for the foundation’s global growth, retired from Invictus after 10 years and six competitions on three continents.

He has been outspoken since leaving his post after nearly 10 years at the helm of the organisation. Following his departure, Mr Reid took to Forces News to express his admiration for the work the Invictus Games has done to support veterans since its inception.

He confirmed that it was a “privilege” to take on the role, but felt it was “the right time” to move on. Speaking to Forces News, Mr Reid stressed: “It’s definitely the community that’s been built. It’s a fantastic closed community and it’s growing at 40% a year, which is phenomenal, internationally it’s grown to include friends and families and that’s a vitally important part of it too. The community is what we’ve achieved. It’s had a healing effect.”

He called the organisation a “wonderful place” but stressed that a “new perspective” was now needed to usher in the next chapter of the Invictus Games.

Mr Reid further explained: “I think it now requires energy and a fresh perspective to tackle it and take it to the next level. I think it’s a good time for all of us.”

Upon hearing the news, Prince Harry responded by praising Mr Reid for his tireless service and dedication to the cause. Speaking emotionally, the Duke said: “Ten years on from the creation of the Invictus Games, we stand proud as a community of 23 nations across every continent, fulfilling our mission of saving and transforming lives.”
