Prince Harry Will Reportedly Hit a Soft Spot in His Latest Olive Branch to King Charles & Prince William

For quite a while now, Prince Harry has been candid about wanting to make amends with his family, most notably with his King Charles and his brother Prince William. But, as sources have confirmed over and over again, the relationship between them has been more strained than ever. But, according to a new source, Harry’s latest olive branch might change things.
According to sources for the Daily Mail, Harry is planning on inviting his dad and his brother to the next Invictus Games, which will take place in July 2027 in Birmingham, England. The Invictus Games, which was founded by Harry in 2013, is an international adaptive multi-sport event for wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans.
“Invictus hopes the royal family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part,” the source said. “Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans.”
In other words, extending the invitation to them would not only be asking for their support for Harry, but also for wounded and injured veterans from around the world. If you ask us, that might be too big of an invite for the royals to turn down.
“The royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena,” the source said, referring to all the support they have given Harry in this project prior to his 2020 departure from senior royal roles. “This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated.”
Harry last spoke about a reconciliation following his legal loss in May, where he fought to get a security detail for himself and his family when he visits England.
In a talk with the BBC, Harry said the security discussion is a major “sticking point” with his family.
“It is the only thing that’s left,” he told the outlet. “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things. But I would love reconciliation with my family.”
“There’s no point continuing to fight anymore,” he said. “Life is precious.”
“I don’t know how much longer my father has, you know?” Harry continued, referring to his father’s battle with an undisclosed form of cancer. “He won’t speak to me because of the security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile. If they don’t want that, that’s entirely up to them.”
Indeed, it seems the decision is all in their hands now. Will they be RSVP-ing yes?
