Prince Harry Teams Up With Bon Jovi To Record Song At Abbey Road

The Duke of Sussex is tying up loose ends in style.

Before he and Meghan Markle officially retreat from their royal duties on March 31, shutting down their Buckingham Palace office and dropping those grand HRH titles, there are a few Ts left to be crossed — including Prince Harry’s meeting with a global rock star in the Beatles’ former recording studio.

And what better way to end a chapter than with a song? On Friday, Harry was shuttled to Abbey Road Studios in London, where he met with Jon Bon Jovi to record a special version of a very special song.

But the pair wasn’t alone. They were also joined by members of the Invictus Games Choir, a music group of 12 wounded, injured, or sick servicemen and women from the U.K. Armed Forces.

It was fitting that the song they recorded would be 2019’s “Unbroken,” which Bon Jovi wrote as a tribute to veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and, presumably, his parents, who both served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

The song was initially written for the documentary “To Be Of Service,” which focuses on how service dogs help veterans manage PTSD.

Instagram, of course, caught the best parts of the whole rendezvous. In one video shared to the @sussexroyal account, Bon Jovi and Prince Harry are huddled together behind a mic at the studio, and we can hear some crucial advice being shared.

“Alright, it’s gonna be really easy,” Bon Jovi assures his partner. “Just pretend you’re singing in your bedroom.” (Probably easier said than done … the video cuts out just as the pair are about to belt out the first note.)

There’s also a trailer for the whole thing, in which the Invictus Games Choir — each member sports a black “Unbroken” T-shirt — can be seen singing as Prince Harry and Bon Jovi watch, in awe.
