Prince Harry has reached a significant milestone and received great acclaim for his successful Invictus Games in Canada, but King Charles is not happy with him.
The competing athletes and their families showered the Duke of Sussex with affection. Moreover, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thanked Harry with nice words as he concluded the Games on Sunday, receiving a standing ovation from the 12,000 spectators.
Prince Harry, who hasn’t seen his father who has cancer since their brief 30-minute meeting last year, is planning to bring the Games back to the UK in 2027.
Ephraim Hardcastle, a journalist for DailyMail, claims that the monarch is annoyed by the time of the adapted athletic event, despite the extremely good reception it has received for its most recent edition.
The expert claims that Harry’s upcoming Invictus Games in Birmingham in July 2027 have “further irk[ed] his father.”
He clarified that the King is “planning to pull out all the stops for his Queen” and that the occasion “coincides with Charles’ lavish celebrations for Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday.”
According to Hardcastle, the activities are anticipated to revolve on a Thanksgiving service at Windsor’s St. George’s Chapel.
Given his “tense relationship with his stepmother,” Harry isn’t too concerned about the Invictus Games, but Charles thinks they would be a “unwelcome distraction” at the time.
It is unclear whether the father-son dynamic will alter in attitude over the course of these two years.
