Prince Harry uses last string of hope for reconciliation with estranged father and brother
Prince Harry is making a final attempt to extend an olive brand to his family as the royal rift continues to take a steep dive.
Despite stepping down from his senior royal position in 2020 with wife Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex has continued to support the charities he had done so while living in the UK.
Now, insiders have revealed that Harry is willing to take the bold step of sending an invitation to his father, King Charles, and brother Prince William in a last bid attempt to win them back.
“Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family,” a source told The Mail on Sunday. “Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part.”
Many royal experts have pointed out that Harry is the most in his element when he is doing things related to the Invictus Games, a sporting event for sick or injured veterans which he founded in 2014. Harry is also personally invested in the workings of the games since he himself was in the service.
The Duke is “hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans”.
The insider continued, “The 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.”
