Prince Harry and King Charles might be set for a reunion after both received invitations to the 2027 Invictus Games.
Last month, it was revealed that the Duke of Sussex, 40, was gearing up to extend an invitation to his estranged father to the ceremony, which is slated to take place in Birmingham in July that year.
Helen Helliwell, CEO of the 2027 Invictus Games, hopes both Prince Harry and King Charles will attend, but notes it’s “too soon to confirm who’s going to be there.”
Helen told People, “We would be delighted if the duke were able to come.”
“He really brings a magical sparkle dust to his interactions, and there is a really special relationship with him and the community.”
She noted that members of the royal family have been ardent “supporters of the Armed Forces,” and have been advocates of the Invictus Games since its inception in 2014.”
“We’d be delighted if members of the royal family were able to attend and would very much welcome their presence in a couple of years’ time,” she added.
Prince Harry is believed to have already approved the guest list and the wording of the invitations for the 2027 Invictus Games. However, the royals will have a tricky decision to make.
The 2027 Invictus Games will take place from July 12 to July 17, coincidentally ending on Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday.
With Queen Camilla’s 80th birthday celebration planning already in full swing, it’s uncertain whether she and King Charles will accept Prince Harry’s invitation to the Invictus Games.
It’s said that Harry’s invitations represent the first time he has publicly reached out to his family since the royal rift began more than five years ago.
The 2027 Invictus Games will be the first time the event has been held in the UK since its inception.
According to Helen, the 2027 Invictus Games have secured over $5.5 million in commercial funding, with 550 athletes from 20 nations set to participate.

She revealed that new sports will be introduced, with pickleball and laser run being thrown into the mix. “We hope that will bring a new audience,” she explained.
It’s unclear if Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet, will attend the Invictus Games, as Harry previously stated they wouldn’t attend without “full police protection,” a request he lost his appeal for earlier this year.
