LONDON, May 15 (UPI) -- Britain's Prince Harry sent out his first tweet Thursday and it was posted to the @InvictusLondon account.

The 29-year-old royal typed the message on an iPad at an event at London's BT Tower to promote the Invictus Games, Paralympic-style competitions for injured service members.

"That's why I joined the army -- I can't type fast," he joked, referring to the speed at which he dashed off the message.
