Prince Harry returned to London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, highlighting his commitment to veterans, though notably without engagements with other Royal Family members.
Prince Harry visited London to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, a sporting event aimed at aiding the recovery of wounded, sick, or injured veterans. As part of the celebrations, he attended a service at St Paul’s Cathedral where he delivered a reading. The event also featured actor Damian Lewis, who recited the Invictus poem. This was held in conjunction with a summit that reviewed the decade-long efforts of the Invictus Games in supporting its competitors.
During his visit, Prince Harry did not have any scheduled meetings with his father, King Charles, or his brother, Prince William, the Prince of Wales, due to the King’s busy commitments. It was noted that the Duke of Sussex’s wife, Meghan Markle, did not accompany him on this trip but plans to join him later during his subsequent travel to Nigeria.
The series of events highlighted by Harry’s involvement in the Invictus Games service at St Paul’s Cathedral emphasized his continued dedication to supporting military veterans. However, his solo visit also underscored his current standing of relative estrangement from other members of the Royal Family, as he engaged in no public reunions with them during his time in London.
