- Prince Harry wants King Charles to open the Invictus Games this summer.
- Charles is allegedly considering the offer—despite the games conflicting with Queen Camilla’s birthday celebration.
- Prince William is said to be upset about all of the above!
Prince Harry is returning to the United Kingdom this summer for the Invictus Games, and apparently he’s trying to get King Charles to open the ceremony—which would be a moment of very public reconciliation after years of feuding.
Per a source in The Sun, “Prince Harry desperately wants Charles at Invictus—and he wants him to open the games alongside him. Harry wants it to happen both for the games, and for their relationship. It’s his dream to have his father by his side.”
The source adds that “People helping to plan the games are convinced it will happen and are planning for Charles to play a role in the opening ceremony.”
One possible hurdle? The games conflict with Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday. But the insider says “Planning committees are aware of Camilla’s birthday and hope Charles will be able to do the opening and attend events while still honouring commitments to his wife. And Harry is across every detail of what is going on with Invictus.”
Meanwhile, the Daily Beast reports that “friends and allies of King Charles and Prince William have been caught off guard by” this news, and confirm Charles is considering opening the games “much to the chagrin of William.”
The outlet also reports that The Sun’s story “has caused some on the King’s side to bristle at what they see as an attempt to force Charles into attending the Games” and that “Friends of William want the King’s team to rebut the invitation before it takes legs.”
