Prince Harry's UK Visit Unravels as Court Defeat Overshadows 2 Invictus Events

Summary
Two Invictus promotional events in London and Birmingham were eclipsed after Prince Harry lost all his claims against Associated Newspapers just as he opened the first engagement.
That legal defeat compounded a chaotic week already hit by a Buckingham Palace dispute over Harry's accommodation and a security row that kept Meghan from all public appearances.
Friday's private Highgrove reunion with King Charles, Queen Camilla, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet produced no images and did little to change the trip's troubled narrative.
In Birmingham, Harry still drew warm support from the Invictus community—hugging competitors, trying wheelchair rugby and promoting the Games—but the visit ended with a sense of lost opportunity.
