Prince Harry arrived in London for the tenth-anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games without Meghan Markle by his side at St Paul's Cathedral. Notable absentees from the event included the King, Prince William, Princess Kate, and other senior royals, which marked a departure from the attendance ten years ago when key royals such as Prince Charles, Camilla, and Prince William were present during the launch of the Games.
A spokesman for Prince Harry mentioned that the King's busy schedule prevented any meeting between father and son during Harry's visit to the UK. This visit came shortly after Harry rushed from America to be with the King following his cancer diagnosis, showcasing a family moment against the backdrop of the Invictus Games anniversary. Despite the absence of key royals, guests such as Earl Spencer, Princess Diana's brother, Prince Harry's cousin Louis Spencer, and actor Damian Lewis added some royal and celebrity presence to the event.
During a summit reflecting on the Invictus Games' journey, Prince Harry shared reflections on the impact and global community created through the sporting events for veterans and military personnel. His words emphasized the achievements so far while acknowledging the ongoing challenges and uncertainties in the world. The absence of Meghan Markle from the event was noted, with reports suggesting her avoidance of the UK due to past tensions with the royal household, contrasting with the last time she and Prince Harry were at St Paul's for the Platinum Jubilee in 2022.

So proud of Harry for continuing his commitment to the Invictus Games!

This is all a distraction from the real issues. Harry's got skeletons in his closet.

The Invictus Games are great, but Harry's become unbearable.

He's lost touch with reality. He thinks he's more important than he is.

The sooner he fades into obscurity, the better.
