The big question about Harry's visit to the United Kingdom is whether he will receive the support of members of the Royal Family on the anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Next May marks 10 years since the creation of the Invictus Games and, given this significant date of one of the initiatives to which he dedicates the greatest energy and enthusiasm, Prince Harry will visit the United Kingdom, but he will do so without his wife, Meghan. Markle.
In May 2014, Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games, an adaptive sports tournament in which serving military personnel and veterans compete. That first edition was held in London, four years before the Duke of Sussex married Meghan.
Now, it will be May 8 when the tenth anniversary of the sporting event will be celebrated with a religious service at Saint Paul's Cathedral, where the youngest son of King Charles III is scheduled to give a speech. The interesting thing will be to see which members of the Royal Family will accompany Harry on this very special occasion for him, since his wife, Meghan Markle, will not be with him on this trip.
The celebration for the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Invictus Games could be the ideal occasion for Prince Harry to meet again with the members of the Royal Family, next May, when he visits London to preside over the event that will take place in the Cathedral of Saint Paul. And, except for the express visit he made to his father, King Charles III, after his cancer diagnosis, the Duke of Sussex has maintained a cold distance from the Crown and, especially, from his older brother, Prince William.
The truth is that the Prince of Wales's attention at the moment is the cancer treatment that his wife, Kate Middleton, is undergoing, and his schedule of activities. A situation that is repeated with Kings Charles and Camilla, who have begun to recover their work rhythm, after a few days ago it was announced that the monarch would return to public events, as a sign that seeks to silence the versions that indicate that His health goes from bad to worse.
So not even the absence of Meghan Markle at the event can ensure that any member of the Royal Family will be present to give Prince Harry a boost. In any case, if there was a meeting with his father, he would once again be in the private sphere and away from the eyes of public opinion.
Although Meghan Markle will not be present with Harry at the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, representatives from all the nations participating in the tournament are expected to attend Saint Paul's Cathedral. In addition to the Duke of Sussex's speech, some of the community members, supporters and beneficiaries of the Invictus Games are also expected to give messages at the service, which will be led – according to People – by the Reverend Andrew Tremlett, dean of said cathedral.
The American media also announced that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will visit Nigeria in May after receiving an invitation from the Chief of Defense Staff, that country's highest-ranking military officer. During their stay, Harry and Meghan will meet members of the armed forces and take part in a variety of cultural activities. This trip by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take place after Nigeria participated for the first time in the 2023 Invictus Games.
