Prince Harry rushed to rescue a woman who fell from her wheelchair during the tryouts for the Paralympic-style 2016 Invictus Games on Friday.
Anna Pollock, 33, is a medic who participated in the 200m, 400m and 1500m cycling competition during the tryouts for the Invictus Games. She was talking to the young prince when a strong wind carried her off into the running track.
"I was just putting my gloves back on and sat back in my chair when the wind took me over. Harry said to me 'What did you do that for?!'" Pollock said, according to People.
"I said, 'To show you how not to do that!' He was so lovely to help me and he gives so much. He makes all the lads and the lasses feel important," she added.
Pollock also took the chance to have a photo taken with Prince Harry.
