Prince Harry is reportedly reaching out to King Charles III and Prince William in a bid to mend their strained relationship by inviting them to the 2027 Invictus Games.
According to the Daily Mail, Harry plans to send an initial invitation via email later this month, followed by a more formal invite. The gesture is seen as an attempt at reconciliation with his father and brother.
A Gesture of Peace
“Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family,” a source told the outlet. “The hope is that the royals will show up to support the injured veterans competing.”
The insider added that the Duke of Sussex is optimistic that King Charles might set aside their personal issues for the sake of the international sporting event he founded.
“The royal family has always shown strong support for Invictus and expressed pride in Harry’s achievements with the games,” the source continued. “This could be one gesture that is welcomed in return.”
Planning Ahead for a Royal Appearance
The early invitation was reportedly timed to accommodate the king’s busy schedule, which is usually booked up years in advance. The 2027 Invictus Games are scheduled to begin on July 10 and end on July 17—coinciding with Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday, potentially complicating attendance.
Notably, there are no Invictus Games scheduled for 2026.
While Harry supports the invite, Page Six confirmed that no invitations—whether for royalty, friends, government officials, or sponsors—have been issued yet, as the games are still more than two years away. The final guest list will be determined by the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027 organizing team, not Harry himself.
