"Bearing in mind that was May 2013, we went back to the Warrior Games that afternoon, and he stood on stage at the podium, and I think it had been written in his speech, that vision to say, ’Look, we’d like to do this'.

"I think he’d added his own note that said 'next year'.

"He went rogue! We were like, 'What? Next year?'

"For a long time, there were three or four of us at the Royal Foundation managing this project.

"September 2014, we were there, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it might have been by the skin of our teeth but we were there!"

Wiseman spoke about his experience of attending the Warrior Games in America with Prince Harry.

He added: "We were sitting down at breakfast, it wasn’t a meeting or anything like that, and Harry said, 'Look, this is absolutely brilliant, what we’ve seen here is absolutely brilliant.

"'What we need to do is internationalise this.

"'"We need to invite allies and nations from all over the world, we’re going to put it in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it needs to be on the BBC, this is going to be massive, we’ll have a closing concert.'

"He could see it before anyone else could."

The director also told A Right Royal Podcast: "Anyone who sits back and is a bit disparaging… from my personal experience he has been the visionary from the very beginning and has been incredibly involved and incredibly proud of his involvement in it."
