      LONDON — Prince Harry will visit Toronto on May 2 to launch the countdown for the third edition of the Invictus Games to be held in the city in September 2017.

      Harry, who posed with most of the 110 athletes Wednesday at Buckingham Palace, will visit Toronto on his way to Florida.

      The first games were held two years ago.
       
      Harry, 31, is a military veteran who served in Afghanistan. He is fifth in line to British throne.
