The Prince and Princess of Wales could be in a potentially awkward "situation" following a recent announcement from Prince Harry, according to royal experts. Earlier this week, the Duke of Sussex shared that the 2027 Invictus Games will be held in Birmingham, and this will be the first time that the sporting competition has taken place in the UK since the first games were held in London in 2014. While it will mark a return to the UK for Harry, it also raises questions about whether or not Prince William and Princess Kate will be involved this time around, and if Harry will get public support from his father, King Charles.
In a recent report, royal correspondent Dorothy Reddin noted that the first Invictus Games were held at an athletic complex in London - located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - and counted the then-Prince Charles and Prince William as audience members. But since Harry stepped down from royal life in 2020, he has been running the Invictus Games separately from the royal institution — and none of the senior royals have attended the events since.
