Nine years ago Harry, his father and brother stood united as they attended the opening ceremony and multiple events at the games in London – but the new King and his heir have had zero involvement since Harry met Meghan.

Despite Harry's passion for Invictus, which is growing in size, officials say there have been plenty of spare seats at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf. Some believe the involvement of King Charles, William and Kate would change that.

One Team GB insider told The Daily Telegraph: 'The athletes find it bizarre but don't want to get caught up in the royal crossfire.'

Palace sources reportedly say that Royal Family members never involve themselves in others' professional endeavours, and they would not expect the duke to voice support for William's Earthshot Prize, for example.

One critic of Harry said: 'Harry has never supported any of [the] latest [of] William's projects, not Earthshot when he is president of African Parks and an advocate for climate change... but they insist William must support Invictus. I'm so tired of this nonsense.'


Does anybody in their right mind believe that Harry and his wife would want Charles, Camilla, William, and Catherine to attend the Games and draw attention away from themselves?
