Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
King Charles will reportedly be faced with a dilemma regarding Prince Harry’s return to the UK for the Invictus Games in Birmingham, as the visit will clash with a major milestone for Queen Camilla. The Duke of Sussex will be heading back to his home country in 2027 to attend the eighth edition of the sporting event.
Invictus Games 2027 will take place in Birmingham from July 10-17. Harry will reportedly issue an olive branch to his father; he is tipped to send him an electronic, as well as a formal invitation for the big event.
But the closing ceremony will be on the same day as Queen Camilla’s 78th birthday, with reports suggesting it will cause a headache to the monarch, who will have to face a difficult choice between supporting Harry’s passion project and marking the Queen’s special day.
Sources described Harry’s latest gesture as a significant move in the duke’s bid to reconcile with his family.
Harry has been distant from the Firm since he sensationally quit it five years ago and moved to the US.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family.
“Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans.
“The royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena.
“This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated.”
Prince Harry recently express his wish to reconcile with the Royal Family during a BBC interview back in May.
Harry said: “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.”
