This situation underscores the strained relationship between Harry and the royal family, which has deteriorated since his departure from official duties alongside his wife Meghan Markle. According to reports from the Telegraph, senior royals are said to be conflicted over the prospect of the charity-driven games returning to the UK in the future.
Adding to the complexity is the ongoing security issue, which has been a source of concern for Harry following a recent legal battle with the Home Office over the withdrawal of public-funded police protection for Meghan and their children.
Royal author Victoria Ward highlighted the uncertainty surrounding whether other members of the family would publicly endorse hosting the games on UK soil, citing reasons ranging from personal estrangement to the broader challenges facing the royal family amidst the current health crisis.
In light of these tensions, Ward expressed skepticism about the likelihood of other royals joining Harry and Meghan in the stands should the British government secure the bid to host the 2027 Invictus Games, particularly given the prevailing circumstances.
