Prince Harry Promotes 2027 Invictus Games as UK Visit Drama Keeps Meghan, 2 Children Away

3 articles · Updated · USA TODAY · Jul 10

Summary

  • Birmingham became Harry’s public focus on July 10, when he promoted the 2027 Invictus Games and said, “I love my family very much,” adding that Meghan and their children are proud of his work.
  • More than 500 wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans from 25 nations are due in Birmingham next year to compete in 12 adaptive sports, underscoring the event Harry founded.
  • That upbeat appearance followed a troubled UK trip: plans to bring Meghan, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, were scrapped in a security dispute, and Harry was also told he could not stay at Buckingham Palace.
  • The visit worsened further when he lost a privacy lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, while Meghan was confirmed not to attend public UK events this week.
  • Any private reunion with King Charles remains unclear, and a family arrival would be the Sussexes’ first time together in Britain since 2022 amid doubts over reconciliation.
