Will the Sussexes really attend the Invictus anniversary event in London in May?

In about six weeks, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might be in London for a very special Invictus Games anniversary service at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The service was announced, in a suspiciously roundabout way, back in February. It was packaged with the news that the British government has made a big, splashy bid to host another Invictus Games, this time in Birmingham. The first Invictus Games were held in London in 2014, and Veterans Affairs Minister Johnny Mercer is making a huge effort to bring the games back and use the games to invest more resources in British veterans. I’ve said before that while I believe Mercer’s motives are above-board, the whole “church service and Invictus bid” situation seems like a massive trap. The British government and British media are desperate for Sussex storylines and control, however fleeting, of Harry, Meghan and their children. This is all happening simultaneously as the British government has repeatedly refused to guarantee security for the Sussexes if and when they visit. Well, anyway, a date has been set for the anniversary service:

Prince Harry is set to speak at the Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service to be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8. Express.co.uk has seen a copy of the official St. Paul’s Cathedral schedule with the Invictus Games event listed as taking place on Wednesday, May 8 at 5 pm. We have also learnt that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are listed as guests on the official running order and the Duke of Sussex is set to speak at the service.

“The dates and details are being kept very hush-hush, but the Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service has now been confirmed at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8,” the source said. “Both Harry and Meghan are listed as guests and a speech has been scheduled, but there is still a question mark over whether Meghan will make an appearance. Her name has been pencilled in as a TBC (to be confirmed).”

The source adds that the 10th anniversary London service is being seen as a gentle push for Harry and Meghan to start weaving their way back into Britain’s consciousness.

“This event is being seen as a very important part of Harry and Meghan’s rehabilitation,” the source said. “It’s viewed as an important event that is almost on par with what a working royal would undertake. It’s a worthy cause where Harry is the key ambassador, and it will be a good starting point for the Sussexes to repair relations with the royal family and the British people at the same time.”

It was revealed last month that Harry was in talks to return to the UK for the service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark a decade of the charity and that he very much hoped it would include Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.

“The children’s attendance is still up in the air because they will only visit the UK if their mother [Meghan] decides to attend,” the source said. “Harry is hoping that they will join him so that they can all enjoy the service, and everyone can meet up with members of his family while they are over.”

If the Duchess of Sussex were to attend, it would be her first visit to the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022 and the children’s first since the Platinum Jubilee in the same year. The Sussexes’ children reportedly have next to no relationship with Harry’s family, so this could be a key visit.

“Charles and Camilla have very good relationships with their other grandchildren, and everyone is keen for them to have a stronger bond with Archie and Lily,” the source said. “Both Harry and Meghan are keen for the children to become closer with Harry’s family, but she’s very anxious about returning to England.”

[From The Daily Express]

The framing is giving me a panic attack and I’m not involved whatsoever. They’re really framing this as Harry and Meghan WANT to come in for the anniversary service, that they should feel grateful for the opportunity to be snubbed, maligned, harassed, abused and targeted again, because they must “repair relations” with their abusers and tormentors. This piece alone has convinced me that the anniversary service wasn’t even Harry’s idea and he’s probably only loosely confirmed his attendance – this is Mercer and the Tories trying to force him to visit. God knows the extent of the trap these people have set up. Anyway, hope Meghan and the kids stay far, far away. Harry too. It would be amazing if he canceled at the last minute.

    They could attend via zoom

    • Jas says:

      @sara I thought that too. It would be a much safer option.

      • Christine says:

        Agreed, Zoom only, for both of them. I am disgusted by the framing of this article, and an anniversary church service? Why is this England’s go-to celebration? It’s stupidly boring, and why would this be a draw for veterans, or anybody really?

      • Christine says:

        I just noticed they have didn’t even spell Lili’s name right.

    • Maxine Branch says:

      My preferred way for them to safely attend as well is through Zoom.

    • ariel says:

      I hope they do a zoom. I mean- then the british “media” would say he snubbed the veterans. But the veterans would obviously know that’s a lie.

      Can you imagine though- having to think about the actual physical safety of your wife and children- because these are the same people that killed his mother and no one ever was held accountable. I wouldn’t bring them anywhere near the hostile racist forces of the murdoch “media”, the public and his own family working against him.
      It is insane.

    • Cessily says:

      I hope they do a virtual visit especially with all the ramped up hate. If anyone attends it would be Prince Harry solo, imo he isn’t bringing his family back until his appeal in the security issue is addressed. I am waiting for the Sussex spokesperson to let us know.

    • Square2 says:

      Harry should do zoom and the kids shouldn’t. I’m fine if we only see Archie & Lili until they’re adults, for their well-being.

    • Jojo says:

      Rehabilitation? Really? GTFOH. No way should Meghan & the children physically go anywhere near this set up.

      • aftershocks says:

        Exactly. 🙄 Unsurprisingly, the tone is so condescending in a negative gaslighting way!
        “This event is being seen as a very important part of Harry and Meghan’s rehabilitation… it will be a good starting point for the Sussexes to repair relations with the royal family and the British people…”

        Sigh… SMH! No thanks. Really. Sussexes are good. They don’t need you salty British peeps and rota rats! Enough already with this messy nonsense. Start with an apology to Meghan first. It’s you salty nonces who need the rehab, NOT H&M!

      • Kathleen says:

        All my spidey senses are tingling. My nerves are screaming Trap! Trap! This is their way of forcing H&M to bend the knee. No matter what the terms, a visit by Meghan and the kids will be reported as a triumph for the RF and groveling apologies by the Sussexes. NO! Rehabilitation of their image my a**s! The RF will stop at nothing to co-opt the IG,

    • maisie says:

      My thought as well. Harry can give his address by Zoom. IMO neither Meghan or the children should be seen at all. Especially since we can be pretty certain that the Games won’t be in the UK.

      Their “rehabilitation”??? GMAFB.

    • The Robinsons says:

      Harry and Meghan won’t be attending.
      The British govt may want to consider William, he’s not doing much these days.
      Besides, the INVICTUS Games have changed, countries have to bid for the event, including Britain – Harry doesn’t want to seem impartial, when these games now serves the world’s veterans.

  2. equality says:

    I would imagine that their scenario here is incorrect. Meghan, Archie and Lili will only attend if H&M think there is adequate security and a secure place for them to stay. They are subtly trying to make it seem that Meghan controls whether or not A&L come to the UK, when I would say it’s a joint decision.

    • Rnot says:

      Whatever happens, it’ll be informative. If the kids show up then I’ll believe that things are pretty dire behind the scenes over there. That would mean that Charles guaranteed security. If he’s dying then they may want to bring the kids to see him one last time like they did for Elizabeth.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        If the first thing out of Charles’ mouth during Harry’s last flyby visit wasn’t an apology to Harry and his wife, followed by a promise to make it right vis. security (we know there’s been no movement there, if there had been the tabloids would be screeching), then Harry is within his rights to tell Chucky, Johnny, Rishi, and all the rest to pound sand. The UK has proven itself to be a Hostile Foreign Power, such has been the way they’ve treated the Sussexes.

        No other individual in living memory has been more in need of security, and more publicly thwarted, than the King’s own son. And for what? No crime but that of looking like Diana and Philip, and living his mother’s legacy in his work.

        The king and his followers are evil. Period.

  3. Maybe he and Meg will do a live stream that way they can appear and also be safe. That’s what I am hoping they will do.

    • Cassie says:

      Me too ,they will be safer that way .

      It should not have be llike this ,I fkn hate the royal family so much for what they have done to this beautiful family .a

  4. Tessa says:

    How about rehabilitating . C and c. The keens and the media. This article is sickening. Charles could have attended events for Lily and Archie and kept frogmore for their visits and not evicted them.kate did not let Louis walk over to see baby Archie William does not want them to have titles. And Charles keeps saying endearing things about Kate and ignores Meghan. Maybe harry can give his speech remotely

  5. Tuesday says:

    I think a last minute cancellation would damage the Invictus brand so PH won’t do that. In my opinion it would be best to decline in advance and find some way to be involved from a distance.

    • Chloe says:

      Harry is never going to decline anything that has to do with Invictus. He might join in via zoom, but i think he’ll be there in person. I just hope it’s a closed event for the media and that only people that actually have something to do with IG are invited. (Organizers, past and current participants and volunteers)

  6. Shawna says:

    Harry doesn’t need “rehabilitation” and doesn’t want reconciliation without apologies. This is setting up another fake story to churn out hundreds of “will she or won’t she” articles and trade off the mystique of the children. It’s despicable and predictable.

    At this point, I don’t even believe Meghan being TBD. Harry will come, Meghan and the kids won’t, end of story.

    • Patricia says:

      Shawna is right. Let Harry visit from a distance and keep Meghan and the children safe in California. It is not necessary for Meghan and the children to attend. London had many chances to treat Meghan and the children well but that has never happened. I strongly feel that something negative could happen to his family while in London. And keep the IG out of Great Britain. They don’t deserve it and can’t guarantee safety for Harry and family. Trustworthy is in their vocabulary.

      • Christine says:

        Yeah, that vile tweet gleefully threatening to kill Meghan, Archie, and Lili was my personal last straw. There is nothing that will convince me British security can and will protect them. They have whipped up a mob of violent hatred for them that is terrifying.

        I’m guessing their private security won’t recommend it anyway.

    • Becks1 says:

      I think you’re right – this will be just Harry. Why would they take the kids to a church service – Lili isn’t even 3 yet – even if they all travel to the UK together (and that’s a big IF.)

      This is just about the british press looking for an excuse to run stories for the next 6 weeks about whether or not Meghan will attend – the same way they did for the coronation, for the jubbly, for charles’ bday this year, etc.

  7. Tessa says:

    Guaranteed this will turn into stories that won’t see them they caused her pain. William will say he should sponsor invict us. If harry goes by himself there will be kate the peacemaker stories

  8. sevenblue says:

    Harry will probably fly in and fly out. I don’t think he will risk the security of his family while the government is still fighting for not giving security to them. He cares about his fellow veterans and probably doesn’t want them to feel abandoned. That was one of the talking points when they moved to USA that Harry left his fellow veterans.

  9. Just Jade says:

    I really Hope Meghan stays far away from that snake pit.

  10. Charter says:

    Wow that entire thing is offensive. From the repair relations bs, claiming invictus as part of the ‘working royal’ bs, invictus has nothing to do with the royal family. Then laying blame at Megan’s feet if the children come (they won’t), but apparently Harry WANTS them to but Harry is too impotent and Meghan has all that black magic power and makes all the Manly decisions. There’s so much grossness even before the mysoginoir. Toxic a-hole bs.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      💯👏🏽

    • Harper says:

      “a worthy cause where Harry is the key ambassador.”

      Vile. Who wrote this?

      • Shawna says:

        He’s the bloody organizer, not an “ambassador.” But I guess the word “organizer,” like “author” or “donator” or “editor” or “veteran,” isn’t in the tabloid press’s style sheet for royal family journalist. The style sheet is mostly synonyms for listening and learning, shining lights on, and keenery.

      • Jojo says:

        He’s the Founder, Organiser, Patron, Champion, Personal Inspiration and Beating Heart of the Invictus games. His authentic passion for the ongoing evolution of the Invictus ethos and the many peripheral good works that support the veterans & their families is what makes these games unique. A disingenuous RF PR British church service is insignificant in this wider context and Harry should pay it the cursory lip service this BM game playing deserves. They disgust me using the name Invictus like this.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        Worthy Ambassador, huh? Last I knew, “worthy ambassadors” coming from abroad were :checks notes: …given full police protection without a scintilla of whinging from the government, the head of state, nor palace hobgoblins.

  11. L says:

    In that interview for the 1 year before Invictus 2025, Harry did say that he would be going or passing by the UK in the spring ( when asked if he would see his father again). So I think he will go. Meg too maybe but the kids will definitely not attend a church service at 5 and 3. I do think Harry will want to take the whole family to see his dad but we will not see them publicly ( as it should)

    • Chaine says:

      I agree with you. I think despite everything he wants and hopes for his dad to meet and have a relationship with the children. I could see the whole family coming if they were able to stay somewhere secure. Definitely don’t see him bringing children to the church though. I do not at all understand why there is a religious service associated with invictus. I thought it was a non profit sports organization, not at all some offshoot of the Church of England?

  12. SussexWatcher says:

    I don’t understand why he (let alone Meghan and the children) would need to attend at all. Is Harry attending every country’s Invictus church service (whatever this even means?!)?

    I think it’s wonderful that England has FINALLY gotten around to acknowledging the Invictus athletes – you know, the veterans who risked life and limb for their country – but everything about this event has my Spidey senses tingling. It feels like a Sussex trap. If they attended, everyone would know exactly when and where they were going to be and when it comes to the UK, that’s just not safe, IMO.

    We just saw in the other article that Harry can’t get the protection he needs when visiting and he’s said (and the other article stated as well) that his family will never visit unless and until this is sorted out. So I just don’t see the entire family coming.

    If anything, I think Harry and Meghan will just attend virtually.

    As for the tabloid getting exclusive confirmation on anything? Lies. Nothing they say can be trusted.

  13. cazzie says:

    If the dates and details are hush hush, then how come The Express know them and are publishing them? Another ‘Royal Source’ aka BP/Ravec leaking that the Sussexes have asked for Security? Honestly it’s like they WANT some harm to befall Harry. I think a zoom/filmed message will be better too … after all The King is doing just that at his recent Church appearances and no-one has turned a hair about it.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      Oh they definitely want harm to come to him and his whole family, for that matter. Then they could write infinite stories about how, if only they’d stayed within the royal bubble, they would have been protected and none of that would have happened. It gives me chills how obvious they seem in wanting some harm to come to the Sussex family (and I count the royal family themselves in this, along with the British media).

    • Islandgirl says:

      This!!!!
      The constant leaking is unacceptable and puts Harry and his family in danger. Especially because they are framing it that this is somehow about Harry and Meghan rehabilitating their image instead of the press in the UK really needing Harry and Meghan to visit to make some money.
      If this is what they are writing before, think what would be said when they are there.
      It’s up to Harry and Meghan what they do but I would like Harry to go alone.

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      He’s obligated to give 28-30 days notice of intention to travel.

      Charles set up that demand specifically so that the courtiers or the government in his name would leak to media.

      Charles is on a campaign to ‘Diana’ his youngest son, DIL and grandchildren. Since the NYC “paparazzi” attack, I have become more convinced of this than ever. That was no coincidence, that “paps” on bikes were instigating again, in a city where yet again paps don’t normally act like that.

      That wasn’t an organic one off event, that was an op, and Chucky has priors for this.

      The event at St. Paul’s raises so many alarm bells and red flags here.

      Harry needs to heed good sense and his security team, and refuse to participate in person.

  14. Enis says:

    This is one of the occasions that, if they attend, it would be wise to use a private jet of a friend. Set some meetings in Paris or Dublin beforehand, fly into London the morning of the service, attend the service, meet up with KC3, fly home that evening.

    • SussexWatcher says:

      The problem is that of Harry is now required to give 30 days notice, they’ll still know exactly when he’s coming. And if he’s attending this event, they’ll know on the day exactly when and where he will be.

      • Tuesday says:

        He’s required to give 30 days notice if he wants police protection. If (and it’s a big if) he can get in and out quickly, quietly, and therefore safely, he doesn’t have to tell anyone anything.

    • blueberry says:

      I had the same thought—go stealth mode—but then the question comes up if BP can be trusted. It’s a pathetic state of affairs.

  15. CM says:

    Agree Kaiser!! But Harry will not let pettiness deter him from supporting the veterans. He’s that good. I do hope Meghan doesn’t go, mainly to stay safe, but also to rob the BM of their million headlines about her.

    • Tessa says:

      Whether or not she goes Meghan will be headlined. All the talk about when harry and the keens were so close. As if.

      • Shawna says:

        They’re trying to set Meghan up as a “no show” like Prince Huevo. I won’t believe ANY claim Meghan may even consider to go unless I hear it from their actual friggin spokesperson.

  16. Eurydice says:

    Harry would walk to the moon in bare feet for Invictus and as a British veteran, he will definitely want to be there. Plus, I can just imagine how William might try to insert himself if Harry weren’t there.

    Attendance by Meghan and the kids all depends on security. If the image of family reconciliation would be a selling point for bringing Invictus to the UK, then Charles can bite the bullet and provide security.

  17. Jks says:

    I can’t help but feel that there’s a cynical subplot to the Invictus bid. It’s either to force the Sussexes back to bully them, or to attach Will to the Invictus success, or to try and take Invictus away from the Sussexes if it’s celebrated in the UK.

    • Eurydice says:

      Yes, I just posted something similar – William would definitely try to take over if Harry isn’t there.

      • Jks says:

        They’ll probably be like, “Harry, this is not a Harry and Meghan show. It’s for the veterans!” and try their best push them out so that Will can steal the stage.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        @jks well, Workshy’s success would largely depend on his ability to remain standing upright, being sober and not drunk or coked out, and his rage filed in a wastepaper bin.

        None of that is something he’s physically capable of. So if they announce a Workshy hostile takeover if IG in UK, stock up on popcorn; the veterans won’t ever embrace The Lazy One who never finished his quals. They respect Harry and Harry alone.

    • StarWonderful says:

      I agree.

  18. s808 says:

    Crap like this is why I hope UK lose the 2027 bid and every other bid they submit.

  19. Mads says:

    Even though this is so important to Harry and Meghan I really hope they don’t attend in person. The timing is suspicious with Archie’s 5th birthday on May 6 and there’s a Garden Party scheduled for the same day, May 8, so perfect excuse for senior royals not to attend and an onslaught of “Harry and Megan being snubbed” articles. The tenth anniversary isn’t even in May but September. It all screams set up for me 🤷‍♀️ If they do come over and bring the children to meet Charles, then he is much more ill than we’re being told.

    • Amy Bee says:

      September seems to be a better date for the church service and Harry can attend the Wellchild awards during that same time period.

  20. MsIam says:

    I wish it was just a zoom appearance too, but because Harry said he was scheduled to travel to London this year, I have a feeling he will show up. But I doubt Meghan will and certainly not the children. Like Meghan said in the Oprah interview, she wrote Charles begging him not to take Harry’s security and she told him that she KNEW he didn’t care about her and Archie. But that old mofo took it anyway so I think that Meghan is done with him. She’s polite on the surface for Harry’s sake. The tabloids can try and spin this “poor old grandpa” tale all they want but the Sussexes know the truth.

    • Christine says:

      Meghan begging Charles to give Harry security is one of the most heartbreaking parts of this saga. It is stone cold that he continues to abuse Harry through security that HARRY WANTS TO PAY FOR HIMSELF.

  21. Brassy Rebel says:

    A way to “weave” their way back into Britain’s consciousness? Wtf!? They have never left Britain’s consciousness for even a second since departing Salt Isle. The tabloids have been completely obsessed with them. As for a need to “rehabilitate” them, there would be no such need had the media not spent the last four years viciously (and gleefully) smearing them. Smh.

  22. Advisor2U says:

    I hope that there will be something more festive than this, because I don’t understand this boring British church service thing for a big IG millstone like this, which involves a diverse, most likely not all religious community with its global supporters.

  23. Monika says:

    Who is the source? It just confirms Harry’s point as soon something becomes a kind of official event in UK it will be leaked.

  24. Amy Bee says:

    This piece is unhinged. Harry did say that they would be marking the 10th year anniversary but all these other expectations that the press have for this event are delusional. If Meghan goes it would just be to mark the anniversary nothing else. Why is the press putting pressure on Harry and Meghan to make amends? And they have already said that they won’t be returning as working royals.

    • MsIam says:

      The only thing I can think of would be if Harry and Meghan make amends then they would share information with the “family” and someone would leak it to the press. Which is probably why Harry and Meghan will never make amends, lol. I think Harry has resigned himself to asking them about their health and that’s about it.

  25. Beech says:

    Who determines where the next Invictus is held? Does Harry have any say?

    • Advisor2U says:

      No, Harry will be consulted, but he has no final say. That is good in term of impracticality, but in his specific case – royal family situation/ UK press war against him – a bit worrying,

      He is the founder of the IG-foundation and the IG games. But their is an Invictus Games selecting committee. They will consider his personal and security circumstances, I hope. I think that the govt (and by extension the palace courtiers/RF) is so bold about their bid and expectations to win the bidding, because they know that Harry doesn’t have the final say, and because of the general attitude of Brits regarding deference to power, meaning that they can probable bribe people in the selecting committee using the RF-card. It’s scary. I hope the IG people don’t do a number on Harry.

      • FlamingHotCheetos2021 says:

        It would be funny if the UK doesn’t win the IG bid.

        Especially since they are so clearly internally making these grand plans to humiliate and harass the Sussexes based on the assumption that they WILL win the bid.

  26. Emily says:

    “This event is being seen as a very important part of Harry and Meghan’s rehabilitation,”

    Yea, there is no need for rehabilitation.

    “It’s viewed as an important event that is almost on par with what a working royal would undertake.”

    No, Invictus is bigger than any ribbon cutting or keen pie chart the current royals have done.

    • QuiteContrary says:

      “It’s viewed as an important event that is almost on par with what a working royal would undertake.” …LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

      The Invictus Games are FAR MORE important than any royal venture. A NATO delegation that includes the NATO Joint Force commander isn’t showing up to an Earthshot event.

      Harry likely will go, but I can’t see Meghan returning to England anytime soon, especially since rags like the Express have ramped up attacks on her.

  27. Advisor2U says:

    I’m pissed.
    Going to that specific church means that the comings and goings of the attendees will be visible, photographed, etc. In no way H&M will put themselves at risk if their UK security issue isn’t resolved properly, and their stay isn’t top nosh secured, let alone letting their kids to be used in a UK press/Charles/govt PR game.

    I’m starting to worry about the control/influence Prince Harry still has regarding the London-based operation of the Invictus Games/The Foundation. The minute I see that some of the board members/trustees will get (new) royal/honorary titles, I’ll be convinced of an infiltration operation/bribing attempted into the UK 2027 IG-bidding, and this weird anniversary service.

    PS:
    Why was the service program even leaked to The Express! I don’t like the fact that this sneaky/ bribed person, or any person involved in the service preps, are endangering Harry’s life, knowing about his security issue with his family/Revec/the government.

  28. Shawna says:

    My conspiracy is they’re setting up Meghan to seem like a last-minute “no show” so they can displace the outrage and interest in Egghead’s no-show at Constantin’s memorial and kick the furor up ten thousand times. Let’s PUSH BACK.

    Kaiser, there’s nothing to support these claims, right? Please say in all your posts that you’ll inevitably have to write about this fakakta “will she won’t she” that NO spokesperson has said Meghan is considering coming.

    • Nerd says:

      Their is no comparison if Meghan doesn’t attend to William not attending a memorial for a godparent that he was scheduled to attend and was supposed to give a reading for. Meghan possibly not attending has to do with security concerns because of the racists environment the royal family and the media have created for her and her children.

      • Shawna says:

        I know there’s no grounds for an actual comparison, but just worried that that’s what the papers are trying to do

  29. bisynaptic says:

    I don’t understand why the anniversary needs a church service. The IG is a secular organization, no? What does Jesus have to do with it?

    Anyway, hope Harry does a video link.

  30. Steph says:

    For the love of gods spell the child’s name right. It’s Lili not Lily.

  31. Eurydice says:

    I guess what I’d want to know is who is sponsoring this service. The way it’s being phrased, including in this article, makes the service sound like it’s something St. Paul’s or another outsider decided to do to honor the Invictus Games. But, if it’s the Invictus Foundation that’s sponsoring it, then they have to have included planning for Harry to attend.

  32. Nerd says:

    Interesting that the details of who the source is are nonexistent. They purposefully avoided explaining who this source is and how he or she would be privy to any information about the IG or about Harry and Meghan’s plans or thoughts. We know that both Harry and Meghan have put the safety of their children first and wouldn’t dare take their children anywhere, especially the UK, without the other parent. These people are so desperate to make money off of the Sussex children that they want to believe that any parent who’s child has been abused and threatened would ever consider bringing them to the place that is the most dangerous for them and their parents without both parents being present. Like Harry or Meghan would take both of their children, without their other parent, to the UK where they have been abused and threatened since before birth. I don’t care what type of relationship Charles and Camilla have with their other children because this is about Archie and Lili and it is obvious that they have racially segregated the only two biracial grandchildren because they are racists who have taken everything away from them because they don’t care if they are dead or alive. The media needs to stop pretending like any of the royals left in the UK are decent people who care anything about Archie and Lili because their actions have always shown they don’t. The world sees how they have neglected these two precious children since the day they were born.

      Trying to get them to bring the kids is weird. It’s not a kids event. I don’t remember seeing children milling around at the games.

    I think the British media would hire people to boo if they did show up. Imagine a bunch of nasty people booing at a family with young children. What a terrible look.

    So nothing is more important to the royals and royal media than showing their hate toward a miltary veteran who supports other veterans. Got it.

    I kind of hope they do go. But beforehand, give an interview to American news where Harry shares some of the kinds of hate that the media has spurred against them. Put the ratchets on notice. But I would never want them to put themselves in harms way, so that’s just my wishful thinking of the moment. I would never subject my own child to that kind of vitriol.

    I have a new wish for the royal media and institution. “May your children be treated the way Harry and Meghan were treated from fall 2018-now.” If they want to keep gaslighting by saying Meghan was extended every hospitality, then they should be happy with their own children getting that same treatment. Do you think they would be? Would they be okay with the Wales kids getting treated like the Sussex kids?

    • Mary Pester says:

      Let’s get a few things straight. Harry and Megan have nothing to apologise for. They don’t need to build bridges, they don’t need approval from the British media OR the extended left behind Royals, but, they are owed a massive apology from ALL OF THEM,Billy and and bone can fk the hell of, they are NOT getting their hands on invictus, neither mercer or the RBL. HARRY will come, invictus is his baby and after Megan and the children is closest to his heart, and the fking dog whistle media had better not pay people to stand and boo because there will be a lot of unhappy veterans confronting them!

      • lanne says:

        As we say in the American South: “Let the church say AMEN!”

        I just want the royals to be shamed for the way they have treated the Sussexes.

  34. Moniquep says:

    “This event is seen as a very important part of Harry and Meghan’s rehabilitation….. a good starting point for the Sussexes to repair relationship ”

    What??? There are some serious undertones swirling behind this whole event. While Harry respects Johnny, I hope he seriously keeps his eyes wide open when making any decisions regarding not just this event, but also the awarding of the hosting of the games.

    And why should the children be dragged out for this event.? There’s just too much desperation to see those kids.

    There be danger in them thar hills!!

  35. Chelsea says:

    During the closing speech Harry gave at Invictus last year he teased that they were planning something for the 10 year anniversary and that he was really excited for it so no i don’t think this was sprung on him. I think this article is just the express doing what they do: using any small morcel they can get to drum up fake stories with fake quotes. I don’t for a second believe that source is real. The express just saw the official confirmation at the church of an event happening and then made up some quotes so that they can continue to pump a story an hour about H&M for their thirsty miserable readers. In reality they have no idea if Meghan or the kids will come nor do they know why they might or might not attend.

  36. Murphy says:

    I bet Harry will go, Meghan will Zoom in. Those children will not come back until their Grandfather dies/is on his death bed, if then.

  37. Isabella says:

    Charles pulled the Sussexes security and actual home. He wouldn’t let Meghan come to Scotland when the queen died because she wasn’t family. And now we’re supposed to believe he’s keen to get to know his grandchildren. Wow.

  38. Over it says:

    I don’t know this for a fact but I believe Harry has a great relationship with his Spencer family. He doesn’t need the dog-shit W bunch . Also, Harry and Meghan children aren’t pawns so the British media can just be gone because no way in hell will these people be getting anywhere near those kids to make money off them . They should call up wank and buttons and demand pictures of the 3 they have if they want to see children.

  39. VilleRose says:

    I just find it odd to have a church service to commemorate Invictus Games’s 10th anniversary? It isn’t a religious organization so I’ve been puzzled over the decision to hold it in a church. I wonder what the logic is behind that. I guess it is a more “lowkey” way to commemorate the anniversary then say, having a fancy gala somewhere in LA, NYC, or London. Meghan tends to show up for the Invictus stuff and the press knows it. I think she will probably come but I don’t think the kids will.

  40. Grandma Susan says:

    Harry should do Zoom *and* he should say, on the record, that he’s doing Zoom because of security concerns.

  41. BeanieBean says:

    Why on earth would Harry & Meghan want to return to this benighted place? After all the abuse & evil words, actions, & thoughts spewed at them? No effing way!!

  42. Lauren says:

    If the whole family visits the UK then it will be because Charles is actually terminal.

  43. Gem says:

    They take their security seriously and if they attend, then obviously the provided security is deemed adequate by the Sussex’s. May is a whole month away so lets see how this unfolds.

  44. JudyB says:

    It is really insulting that this is being framed as part of H&M’s “rehabilitation.” How about rehabilitating the Palace and the Rota??? If Harry and Meghan do attend, will they be congratulated for being partly “rehabilitated”? How insulting.

    Also, sounds like an attempt at a takeover of Invictus by the UK. Who decided to schedule this and ask H&M to come? And are they really expected to speak at a religious service????

  45. Bad Janet says:

    I just went on a couple Meghan hate accounts on Twitter for the first time (insomnia sucks) and OH. MY. GOD.

    Those people are seriously unhinged.

    There is so much blatant racism. So much. From absolutely clueless people who then deny that they’re being racist.

    I know it isn’t perfect here, it no wonder they got the hell out of the UK, no wonder the black Commonwealth countries saw that and said no thank you, and please Meghan, don’t ever go back without armed security 24/7.

  46. Dee says:

    If I was Harry, I’d helicopter in, do my speech and helicopter back out.

  47. GMH says:

    This entire matter is a perfect example of why H&M will never involve themselves in a royal event in London. Reporting on something as simple as a church service still depends on endless sourcing and quotes from nameless sources being portrayed as authoritative and close to the Sussexes when there would be no legit reason to have nameless sources in such a story. It is all made up by palace nobodies and probably will result in H&M not wanting to be anywhere near this thing.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      GMH, that may be what’s going on–hoping to keep Harry away. That’s not going to happen, because Invictus is his passion. I can’t see Meghan or the kids being there, because the bm is working hard to heighten the threat level. If they are there, no one will see them that they don’t want to see them.
