Prince Harry is set to return to the U.K. next month for a special celebration marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games Foundation, an international sporting event he founded in 2014. This visit will mark his first trip home since his visit with his father, King Charles III, in February.
The 39-year-old royal will attend a ‘Service of Thanksgiving’ at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8, commemorating a decade of the Games changing lives. During the service, Harry will give a reading, and he will be joined by actor Damien Lewis, who will recite a poem.
This visit holds significance as it marks Prince Harry’s return to the U.K. after spending time with his family in February, following the news of King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis. Harry expressed his love for his family and gratitude for the opportunity to spend time with his father during that visit.
Reflecting on the potential impact of his father’s illness on the family, Prince Harry emphasized the strength of the family unit during challenging times, drawing from his experiences with the Invictus Games.
King Charles III, who has been receiving treatment for cancer, is set to resume public-facing duties, starting with a visit to a cancer treatment center on April 30, accompanied by Queen Camilla. The palace spokesperson expressed gratitude for the medical team’s care and expertise, noting His Majesty’s encouragement in resuming his duties.
Prince Harry’s upcoming visit to the U.K. underscores his ongoing commitment to the Invictus Games Foundation and his family, bridging connections and celebrating milestones despite geographical distances.
