Prince Harry’s latest move has left King Charles and Prince William in a tight spot – where they run the risk of looking “petty” unless they accept his request for reconciliation, a royal expert and a former spokesman for the Royal Family have said. The Duke of Sussex has reportedly invited his father and brother to the next Invictus Games in 2027, the sporting event he founded in 2014 for injured and sick armed forces personnel. Bronte Coy, royal correspondent fr News.com.au, said the invitations were likely causing “a massive headache” behind the scenes.
“There’s a lot of sympathy, understanding and respect for the king and William’s position because I think anyone can relate that if you’ve been spoken about publicly, and had your personal issues with family members aired in that way, of course you would be angry,” she told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show. “But it’s in the UK and you’re talking about the military community, of which the royals are very, very entwined. You do run the risk of looking a bit petty if they don’t go and support it, given their position in supporting the military community.” Ex-palace spokesman Dickie Arbiter added: “It would cause a massive headache because you don’t just roll over, having been rubbished for such a long time. There’s an equation to this, and the other half to the equation is Mrs Sussex.”

Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie’s 120-room home branded ‘ugly’
Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie have been married for 26 years, and have spent their entire wedded lives living together in Surrey.
After their 1999 wedding, the late Queen Elizabeth II gifted Edward, 61, and Sophie, 60, the royal home, which is named Bagshot Park.
Since then, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have lived happily in the 120-room property, bringing up their children Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex there.
While the family of four have always seemed more than happy in the home, it seems that not everyone is as fond of the Tudor Gothic style mansion.
