Prince Harry blames King Charles' note for brutal Invictus Games blow
Key Points:
- Prince Harry reportedly blames Uganda's withdrawal from the 2027 Invictus Games on King Charles’ letter clarifying Harry and Meghan's royal status, which was issued without consulting the couple.
- Uganda’s Chief of Defense Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, announced the country’s pullout to avoid opposing King Charles III, stating Uganda will not participate in events without the monarch’s approval.
- The Invictus Games, founded by Harry in 2014 for wounded military personnel, had recently welcomed Uganda into its community, making the withdrawal a significant setback for competitors.
- Sources say Harry and Meghan are frustrated by the wording of Charles’ letter, preferring to be recognized as “public figures” rather than “private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.”
- Harry and Meghan returned to the UK with their children after six years in the US, with Harry making his first public appearance in London since the move.
