Prince Harry doesn’t come back to the U.K. often these days, but his beloved Invictus Games is one of the few things that can draw him back. The Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014, is a special sporting event for injured veterans that he takes great pride in. Harry recently won an ESPY award for it, which stirred up quite a bit of controversy.
Now, there’s big news about the next Invictus Games. Birmingham, U.K. has been chosen to host the event in 2027, beating out Washington D.C. for the honor. The games will be held in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada in 2025 before making their way to Birmingham. This means Harry will be making a return to Britain, something he generally avoids due to concerns about his safety and mental well-being.
Meghan Markle, on the other hand, has rarely been seen in the U.K. since she and Harry stepped back from their royal duties and moved to the U.S. in 2020. Meghan hasn’t visited England voluntarily since then, except for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. This suggests that Meghan might have a deeper issue with the U.K. beyond just the gloomy weather, likely tied to their departure from royal life.
With Birmingham set to host the Invictus Games in 2027, Meghan will have a significant choice to make: whether to join Harry for the event or stick to her apparent decision to avoid returning to England. She has three years to decide, but the stakes are high for both her and Harry.
