Attention, Prince Harry: Turning 30 does not mean you're getting old, silly.

The rugged and hot royal, along with 6,500 spectators, attended the opening ceremony of The Invictus Games for wounded servicemen and women at the Olympic Park in London today, and as well as celebrating the anticipated games, Harry mentioned his upcoming 30th birthday on Monday.

"I'm slowly starting to feel old…I am actually quite old," Harry reportedly said. "I think I'm always young at heart. Surrounding myself with these guys and girls does keep me young. They're sharp-witted and their sense of humor is on it."

Ahead of Harry entering his dirty 30s, BBC America will air a new documentary titled Harry at 30 on the eve of the royal's birthday.

According to the press release, the doc, which will air Sunday night, "intimately explores every stage and iconic moment of the Prince's life. Featuring contributions from friends, military colleagues, historians, journalists, photographers and royal correspondents, the revealing one-hour documentary looks at the highs and lows of Harry's extraordinary life, providing unique and privileged insight into what it was like to lose his mother at such an early age, how he dealt with growing up in the shadow of his older brother, and what his thoughts are on being Britain's most eligible bachelor."

Regardless, the Prince of Wales' youth is forever immortalized after Madame Tussauds in London unveiled a new wax figure in honor of the royal's special day.

"Since he was first portrayed in his very early twenties Prince Harry has changed quite a lot," said Madame Tussauds PR Manager Nicole Fenner of Harry. "His 30th birthday seemed the perfect time to create a brand new figure with a brand new look. We know our guests will be delighted to get up close to the Prince, dressed as he has so often been pictured, in his fatigues, relaxed, informal and very much at ease."
