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."

Iconic Paris Olympic cauldron returns for summer nights
A year after it captivated crowds during the Paris Olympics, a centrepiece of the summer Games has made a comeback to light up the French capital's skyline. The iconic helium-powered balloon that attracted a myriad of tourists during the summer Games has shed its Olympic branding and is now just called the "Paris Cauldron". It rose again into the air later Saturday, lifting off over the Tuileries Garden just as the sun was about to set. Despite the suffocating hot weather in Paris, around 30,000 people were expected to attend the launch, which coincided with France's annual street music festival — the Fete de la Musique, the Paris police prefecture said. And it won't be a one-time event. After Saturday's flight, the balloon will lift off into the sky each summer evening from June 21 to September 14, for the next three years. The cauldron's ascent may become a new rhythm of the Parisian summer, with special flights planned for Bastille Day on July 14 and the anniversary of the 2024 opening ceremony on July 26. Gone is the official Olympic branding — forbidden under International Olympic Committee reuse rules — but the spectacle remains. The 30m-tall floating ring, dreamed up by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur and powered by French energy company EDF, simulates flame without fire: LED lights, mist jets and high-pressure fans create a luminous halo that hovers above the city at dusk, visible from rooftops across the capital. Though it stole the show in 2024, the cauldron was only meant to be temporary, not engineered for multi-year outdoor exposure. To transform it into a summer staple, engineers reinforced it. The aluminium ring and tether points were rebuilt with tougher components to handle rain, sun and temperature changes over several seasons. Though it's a hot-air-balloon-style, the lift comes solely from helium — no flame, no burner, just gas and engineering. The structure first dazzled during the Olympics. Over just 40 days, it drew more than 200,000 visitors, according to officials. Now anchored in the centre of the drained Tuileries pond, the cauldron's return is part of French President Emmanuel Macron's effort to preserve the Games' spirit in the city, as Paris looks ahead to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
