King Charles might be put in a tough spot over choosing between his “warring” sons — Prince William and Prince Harry. Speculations around the Duke of Sussex sending an invitation to the 2027 Invictus Games to his father have been circulating since the beginning of this year. A royal expert recently claimed that the Birmingham charity is for a good cause and has always been appreciated by the royals. However, this time, the monarch would allegedly face a dilemma whether he should accept his second son’s invitation or stand by William.
King Charles faces ‘tough’ choice over choosing between ‘warring’ sons, says expert
Prince Harry’s Invictus Games invite might put King Charles in a difficult position with Prince William. Since the duke showed the royal protocols in a negative light through interviews and memoirs, his relationship dynamic with his father and elder brother got seemingly worse. However, his UK trip in 2026 reportedly mended some differences with the monarch as they met after a long time.
Recent reports claimed that he might invite King Charles to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. This move would reportedly put pressure on the 77-year-old. Royal expert and BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told The Mirror that the charity game has seemingly become “pivotal” now. She explained that the event has been one of the “greatest achievements” of Harry. So, any father would want to support such a good cause.
However, she also pointed out that matters of the king’s family have never been “straightforward” for him. “It could become a classic case of a father having to choose between his warring sons. We can only imagine how William might feel if Charles publicly threw his support behind the games and Harry,” Bond claimed.
Meanwhile, she also mentioned that Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, might also attend the event. Calling her a “savvy woman,” the expert stated that the “Suits” alum might not want to avoid attending the charity, which seemed to be “close to her husband’s heart.” “They love her, so perhaps that’s a reason she would come – to support Harry as she always has at Invictus. To stay away would inevitably become as newsworthy as her presence,” Bond added.
