Prince Harry is allegedly chasing something that he can no longer create himself. The Duke of Sussex is reportedly set to visit the UK next month for an Invictus Games event ahead of the 2027 tournament in Birmingham. Some news outlets have suggested that he might reconcile with his father, King Charles, during the visit.
A royal expert claims Prince Harry is now ‘desperate’
In the June 24 episode of the news, royal commentator Neil Sean claimed that Prince Harry is “desperate” to have some royal star power. Per the commentator, the Prince needs it to fix the “mess” of the Invictus Games. Sean said, “Harry is desperate to get some star stardust sprinkled back onto the disaster that he knows he and his wife who created the back of the cart in Vancouver.”
The royal expert explained that the 41-year-old is seeking reconciliation with King Charles to generate positive publicity for the Invictus Games. The charity has faced intense security recently, so any involvement of the Royal Family will take some of that heat off.
Sean also stated that the focus of Invictus has veered off in recent years. He further said that Prince Harry was supposed to be more involved in the marketing. The expert said, “Harry was supposed to be more actively involved, you know, doing courtside interviews, one-to-one interviews. What we got was a very brief snatch of him basically talking about his favorite topic, himself.”
Another big topic of speculation around Prince Harry’s alleged visit is his family’s security. The royal expert emphasized that King Charles is no longer funding it.
At the same time, per The Royal Observer, Invictus has faced several setbacks in the past few months. Earlier this year, Melloney Poole resigned from his role as vice chair of the Birmingham 2027 board of trustees. He has served in the position for sixteen months. Further, Invictus Australia almost faced a funding issue. The Australian government withdrew its $9 million in funding, then reversed the decision following backlash from veterans.
