King Charles leaves Prince Harry ‘blaming’ palace with his latest move

Uganda’s announcement about Invictus Games left Prince Harry in a royal drama.

It was said that Uganda agreed to participate in the global sporting event founded by Prince Harry, the Invictus Games, and they were planning to send injured servicemen and women next year, as per Radar Online.

Now, just two months later, on September 8, Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba publicly declared in a Twitter post that they are stepping away from the Duke of Sussex's Invictus Games and showed their full support for King Charles.

As per Chief of Defence’s statement, "In order not to be construed as being opposed to His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom, whom we deeply revere, Uganda hereby withdraws from the Invictus Games. We shall not participate in anything that does not have His Majesty's approval."

The Chief of Defence has also revealed to Times that, "I have factions in the Ministry of Defence that support that Harry-Meghan nonsense. I had to quash it straight away. I support the monarch. Period."

As this follows Buckingham Palace's confirmation, in a letter that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will remain in the same positions and there will not be any change in their status.

Now, an insider has revealed to the outlet that Prince Harry is pointing fingers at the Palace’s senior official Lord Chamberlain who issued the letter on behalf of the monarch. "Whether it was intended or not, there is a clear sense that the Lord Chamberlain and Charles' latest guidance has contributed to this situation, and that is who Harry is blaming for the Uganda Invictus withdrawal.”

The insider noted, "The Invictus Games were created to put wounded and injured service personnel at the center of the conversation, so it is deeply frustrating for Harry to see the event become caught up in questions about royal status and allegiance.”

Adding, "The people who risk being forgotten in all of this are the competitors themselves. Ugandan service personnel had expected to take part in Birmingham, train for the competition and represent their country. They should not have to bear the consequences of disagreements surrounding the royal family."

Adding to the claims another source said, "Whatever someone's views are about Harry, Meghan or the monarchy, Invictus has always been about the men and women who have served. Turning participation in the Games into a question of loyalty to one particular member of the royal family risks distracting from the purpose of the event and, most importantly, the people it was established to support."

"Kainerugaba's comments simply make clear that Uganda's position is being presented as an expression of loyalty to Charles, rather than a criticism of the Invictus Games themselves. The country's participation next year now remains uncertain," they further added.
