Prince Harry eyeing Royal Family reunion, extending invite to next Invictus Games but scheduling could be conflicting
Prince Harry is reportedly going to offer an invite to the Royal Family for the 2027 Invictus Games which could see a long-awaited reunion for the Duke of Sussex and his family. It's been reported Prince Harry, 40, is keen to reconcile with King Charles and other royal relatives for the seventh instalment of the Invictus Games. It is understood an emailed invitation will be sent out in late June, followed by a formal invitation, according to The Daily Mail. The invite is designed to be issued three years in advance to give Charles enough time to put into his schedule, sources said. Prince Harry was last pictured with the Royal Family for the late Queen Elizabeth II funeral on September 19, 2022. Royal commentator Katie Nicholl said there is a certain "possibility" the King might attend the Games, considering he "absolutely wants a relationship with his youngest son and with his grandchildren". "Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family," a source told The Daily Mail on Sunday. "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." The Invictus Games are an international multi-sport event for wounded, injured, and ill servicemen and women. Prince Harry founded the Games in 2014 to use the power of sport to inspire, support, generate and respect a wider understanding for those who serve their country. The 2027 Games are set to be at Birmingham's NEC on July 12 and will conclude on July 17, landing on the day of Queen Camilla's 80th birthday. Scheduling conflict could derail Harry's invite with plans for Camilla's birthday likely already planned. The Duke of Sussex spoke to the BBC in May and made clear he wants to welcome a reunion with his brother, Prince William and father King Charles. "There's no point in continuing to fight any more," he said. "Life is precious. "Forgiveness is 100 per cent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back."

'He's desperately hoping': Prince Harry's emotional motivation for letting Meghan share photos of Archie and Lilibet online revealed by insider
Prince Harry is reportedly allowing his wife Meghan Markle to post more photos of their children online in the hopes it will prompt a reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. The Duke of Sussex, who has long guarded the privacy of his young children, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet, has traditionally avoided sharing images of them publicly. However, since Meghan's return to Instagram earlier this year, glimpses into their family life have become more frequent. Most recently, the 43-year-old Duchess shared a series of photos and videos from a family trip to Disneyland to celebrate Lili's birthday, offering rare insight into their life in California. According to a source quoted by Daily Mail Spotlight, Harry's decision is part of a "desperate" effort to show the Royal Family what they're missing out on- especially his father. "Harry is completely heartbroken," the insider said. "His dad refuses to see him or the kids- not even on Zoom… It's a last resort. "He's desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he's missing." The insider also claimed Harry has made multiple attempts to reconnect with his family. "He's tried everything- calls, letters… But nothing's worked," they added. "This is his way of saying, 'Look at what you're missing'." The report comes shortly after Harry spoke to BBC News about his ongoing estrangement from the Royal Family and his hopes for healing the rift. "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," he said from his Montecito home after losing a legal battle over his UK security arrangements. "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious." Harry added, "I don't know how much longer my father has. "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile." Since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have built a new life in the US, launching a number of projects including their Archewell Foundation, a podcast series, a bombshell memoir and a lucrative partnership with Netflix. Through Archewell, the couple have championed child safety online via The Parents Network and recently hosted an event in New York calling for stronger protections on social media platforms. "Life is better off social media," Harry said at the time. While Meghan still rarely shows her children's faces online, she's said her new Instagram presence is focused on authenticity. "You have to be authentic," she said in an interview with British entrepreneur Emma Grede on the Aspire podcast. "…I'm just grateful that now, being back on social (media) as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." has contacted Sussex representatives for comment.
