Invictus Games CEO Welcomes Royal Family to 2027 Event

The Royal Family are 'very much welcome' at the Duke of Sussex's Invictus Games in 2027, the event's chief executive said. Helen Helliwell expressed that she would be delighted if members of the Royal Family attended the event, which will take place in Birmingham. The invitation, if accepted, would mark the first time Royal Family members have attended the Invictus Games since its inception in 2014. The Games were founded by Prince Harry with the support of his father, King Charles, and brother Prince William, to support wounded military personnel.

Helliwell also mentioned that she would be pleased if Harry and Meghan attended the event in two years. Reports suggest that Harry has sent out email invitations to Charles and other senior royals, with a formal invitation to follow. The timing of the invitation is aimed at giving the family the best chance of attending, considering their schedules are planned years in advance.

Despite the potential scheduling conflicts, the Royals' support for Invictus remains strong. The Games are scheduled to open in Birmingham on July 12, 2027, and conclude on July 17. Helliwell hopes for a successful event with the presence of Royal Family members and possibly Harry and Meghan.

Harry has expressed his desire for reconciliation with his family, as seen in his recent BBC interview. The Invictus invitations are seen as a significant step towards bringing the family together. The Games are expected to bring economic and social benefits to Birmingham.
