Every family has family drama; it’s just that when you’re the British royal family, that family drama is something everyone is interested in. That’s turned into a big issue, particularly considering King Charles is ill, and he and Prince William are in the middle of a feud with Prince Harry. Not to mention, divorce rumors are always flying, both about Prince William and Kate Middleton and about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry recently said in an interview that he’s looking for a reconciliation, especially as he doesn’t know how much time his father has left. But his recent loss in the case involving his security also means he has refused to bring his wife and kids to the UK, due to safety concerns, even going as far as to say he couldn’t imagine a situation where it would make sense for them to visit. That makes a family reunion all the more unlikely.

However, there’s an upcoming event that might change all of that, the Invictus Games in Birmingham. Both Harry and Meghan have attended all the recent Invictus Games, with one royal observer saying, “The Invictus Games have so far been unmissable for Harry and Meghan.” The two attended the last games in Vancouver and before in Düsseldorf. In fact, in 2022, Meghan even paid tribute to Harry during the opening ceremony of the COVID-postponed games in The Hague.

There’s still a long time until Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have to worry about this eventuality, though. The Invictus Games are set to happen in Birmingham from July 10-17, 2027. Competitors are set to participate in nine core sports, with three new additions – e-sports, pickleball, and laser run.

“We are thrilled to officially announce the confirmed dates for Invictus Games Birmingham 2027,” Helen Helliwell, CEO of Birmingham 2027, said.  “These Games will shine a light on Birmingham’s incredible community spirit and the West Midlands’ strong commitment to supporting the recovery and rehabilitation of our Armed Forces community.”

And though this is in no way a confirmation of Harry’s presence, he did address the next games during the opening ceremony in Vancouver by saying: “Bring on Invictus Birmingham 2027. You have permission to party!”

The Invictus Games are a biannual sporting competition for injured service personnel. They have become, at this point, a big part of the Sussex brand. So, it’s likely Prince Harry will find a way to be there, though the presence of Meghan Markle might still be in doubt. Still, a lot can happen from now to 2027.

All of this comes after Prince Harry said in his latest BBC interview that, the “only time I come back to the U.K. is, sadly, for funerals or court cases.”

Sources even told Fox News that they don’t expect the brothers to see each other again unless Charles dies. “The funeral of Charles would be the first time that courtiers would imagine [them reuniting],” the source said. “I can’t imagine William would invite Harry to his coronation.” But if anything’s going to bring Harry back home outside of that, it might just be the Invictus Games.
