Summary
Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre hosted Prince Harry on Friday for the countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games, where he played doubles pickleball and watched wheelchair rugby and other showcase events.
Harry used the appearance to refocus attention on injured veterans, telling ITV the Games are about "overcoming adversity" and calling Birmingham a homecoming for many treated there after Afghanistan.
Meghan, originally scheduled for London and Birmingham appearances, was ruled out of all UK public events after a security dispute, though representatives have not commented on any private family meetings.
The Birmingham stop follows a chaotic UK visit marked by confusion over Buckingham Palace accommodation and Harry's loss on all claims in his case against Associated Newspapers.
