Helen Helliwell, CEO of the Invictus Games in Birmingham, told the outlet, “We will be delighted if they come over for the year out and for the Games… We are so far out it’s impossible for one individual to confirm their plans, but we would be delighted if the Duke were able to come.”

She added that Harry’s connection to the Games remains unmatched. “His passion is unsurpassed… He really brings a magical sparkle dust to his interactions.”

And here’s another layer to the timeline: The Games are scheduled to wrap up on July 17, which also happens to be Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday. So while the location is convenient, the date may complicate things for the royal calendar.
