Why One Former Royal Butler "Doubts" Prince William Will Accept Any Invictus Games Invite From Prince Harry

Prince William and Prince Harry wear black fleece jackets at the Invictus Games 2014.

It was recently reported that Prince Harry would likely extend an invitation to the Royal Family to attend the Invictus Games, which is set to take place in Birmingham in July 2027. While subsequent reports suggested it was simply too early to be discussing invitees for the next Invictus Games, one former royal butler has said he "doubts" Prince William would attend, regardless.

Speaking on behalf of Casino, Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, told Express.co.uk, "I think that The King and the Prince of Wales have enough charity events to go to, so I think they wouldn't have to go to the Invictus Games." Burrell continued, "This is Harry's baby, not The King's and not William's. I think they shouldn't go to support Harry in this venture. This is Harry's concern, not theirs."
