According to reports, Prince Harry wants to invite the Royal Family to the upcoming Invictus Games, which will take place in Birmingham in 2027.
Prince Harry plans to invite the King and other royals to his next Invictus Games in Birmingham, it has been reported. It is said that email invitations will be sent later this month, with formal invitations to follow, which would be the strongest indication that the Duke of Sussex is keen on reconciliation with his family.
The next Invictus Games is being held at the NEX in Birming from July 10 to 17, 2027, and it is claimed that sending invitations soon would give Charles and the rest of the royals the best chance of attending. However, it could prove a headache for the Palace as the games end on the same day that Queen Camilla turns 80.
A source told the Mail On Sunday: “Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family. Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans.
The Royals have always been incredibly supportive of Invictus and proud of Harry’s accomplishments in that regard. He may have given him one more olive branch that can be reacted upon.
Just weeks ago, Harry revealed he is no longer speaking to his father, but admitted he would like reconciliation with him and his older brother Prince William.
Following their interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they claimed a member of the royal family was concerned about their son Archie’s skin tone before he was born, the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family significantly grew.
Then, the duke claimed that William physically attacked him in his controversial memoir Spare, that the King had a crush on Meghan and put his own needs before Harry’s.
The Prince of Wales will worry more than ever that any conversation with the duke would end up in the public domain because Harry’s decision to speak out appears to have weakened the likelihood of a resolution to his estrangement. The King, who is still receiving cancer, is also thought to be at risk.
In the meantime, when the next Olympics are in the UK in less than two years will Harry bring his wife Meghan and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with him.
Harry lost his legal challenge last month against the Home Office over the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec)’s ruling that he should be given a different level of protection while living in the UK.
He claimed at the time that the Court of Appeal decision makes it “impossible” for him to safely bring Meghan and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet back to the UK.
In an interview with the BBC, he said: “I can’t see a world in which I will be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point and the things they are going to miss is everything. I love my country and always have done…despite what some people in that country have done.
I miss the UK, he continued. I long for some of the UK. I do, of course. I feel really let down by the fact that I can’t show my kids my home. Because preparations are in the early stages, an Invictus spokesman said: “No formal invitations have been issued.
