Forgiving his brother, his father, his stepmother and even the British press was not out of the question. But one sticking point remained: his safety on British soil, a subject at the heart of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/story\/prince-harry-is-pushing-his-uk-security-case-forward\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his recent disputes<\/a> with \u201ccertain\u201d members of the royal family.<\/p>\n<p>After a whirlwind visit to London last month without a stopover at Buckingham Palace, the Duke of Sussex now seems ready to go one step further. He has reportedly agreed to invite his father, <strong>King Charles III,<\/strong> and brother, <strong>Prince William,<\/strong> to the next Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham in 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">According to a source quoted by the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-14834933\/Prince-Harry-King-Charles-Prince-William-Invictus-Games.html\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-14834933\/Prince-Harry-King-Charles-Prince-William-Invictus-Games.html&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-14834933\/Prince-Harry-King-Charles-Prince-William-Invictus-Games.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mail on Sunday<\/a>, Harry will be sending out invitations out as early as this summer: \u201cThe royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him that might be reciprocated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">If the message arrives in time for royal staff to adjust agendas, it remains unlikely that the King\u2019s official schedule will be set two years in advance. However, a coincidence in the calendar could play in favor of this symbolic moment: the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games, scheduled for July 17, 2027, would coincide with <strong>Queen Camilla<\/strong>\u2019s 80th birthday. An opportunity, perhaps, to celebrate the event as a family, reunited at last.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c8074n5z597o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the BBC<\/a> in early May, after losing his appeal for police protection, Prince Harry seemed to have changed his tune: \u201cThere\u2019s no point continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don\u2019t know how much longer my father has,\u201d he said, referring to King Charles III\u2019s battle with cancer. The ball is now in the royal family\u2019s court. Will they accept this extended hand? Are they ready to open a new\u2014and unprecedented\u2014chapter in their history?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Original story from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.fr\/article\/prince-harry-prince-william-charles-iii-aux-prochains-invictus-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VF France<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For several months, Prince Harry has been expressing a desire for reconciliation.
