The Duke of Sussex supposedly wants to invite his estranged family to the sporting event scheduled in Birmingham. While the reunion could give Harry a chance to mend his relationship with his father, King Charles, and the rest of the royal family members, a royal commentator thinks his brother, Prince William, might not entertain the invitation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"end-of-block-quote\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk\/celebrity-news\/buckingham-palace-dismisses-prince-harrys-35448870\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scottish Daily Express<\/a>, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Sky News that Charles may consider attending the games due to his \u2018soft spot\u2019 for his younger son, whom he once used to call \u2018darling boy.\u2019 However, the sources at the palace believe otherwise, calling the Duke\u2019s invite a \u2018PR strategy.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Schofield opined, \u201cMy understanding is that Palace sources feel the same way that I have felt&#8230;gestures are leaked to the press before they&#8217;re actually made, so how is this a genuine reconciliation attempt and not a PR strategy?\u201d Schofield added, \u201cI think the King might actually show up because I think he&#8217;s got a soft spot for Prince Harry.\u201d The expert further claimed that Prince William would not be a part of the event, saying, \u201cThe King is sick, I hope he does show up for Prince Harry, but I don&#8217;t believe we&#8217;ll see Prince William there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-14834933\/Prince-Harry-King-Charles-Prince-William-Invictus-Games.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Mail<\/a>, a source previously claimed that Harry is hopeful his family will attend the Invictus Games and support the wounded veterans in their performance. The source said, \u201cInvictus hopes the royal family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans.\u201d The insider added, \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, which might be reciprocated.\u201d The invitations are expected to be sent out by Summer, and nobody, including the royal family, has received them yet.

The rift deepened following the couple\u2019s explosive interviews, including the conversation with Oprah Winfrey, their bombshell Netflix documentary, and the tell-all memoir Spare. As a result, the prince is no longer on speaking terms with his father.<\/p>\n<p>During his interview with the BBC, he even admitted to Charles not picking up his calls. Nevertheless, after years of estrangement, the father-of-two expressed his desire to reconcile with his family, citing his father&#8217;s health as the reason. He said, \u201cThere is no point in continuing to fight anymore, life is precious. I don&#8217;t know how much longer my father has &#8211; he won&#8217;t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry is reportedly planning to initiate reconciliation with his family through the Invictus Games 2027.
