Prince Harry hopeful for reconciliation with Royal Family at Invictus Games
'This has obviously been leaked, it's not until 2027 these Invictus Games, so they're getting in two years ahead,' Ms Mollard told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo.
'What Harry's team is saying is that the royals are all invited to the Invictus Games, and it's super important for him that he does have members of the Royal Family there.
'I think this is part of that drive to think about what we're going to do looking forward, and of course, the King's diary is booked out months, years in advance, so I think it's very strategic in terms of getting in there early.'

‘Within weeks': Major update after secret royal talks
IN LONDON Prince Harry could meet with the King in just a matter of weeks after senior aides from both camps held a 'peace summit' in London. In May, the Duke of Sussex confirmed he and his father were no longer on speaking terms, marking a sad new development in what's been a turbulent few years in their relationship. The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson reports that Harry '[gave] his blessing' for a casual meeting that took place in the UK capital recently involving two members of his team, Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire, as well as the King and Queen's director of communications, Tobyn Andrae, at a private members' club. Pictures of the all-important meeting were published in The Mail on Sunday over the weekend. Conversations were reportedly centred around ways to finally reconcile issues between the duke and the King, although The Sun added that 'a proposal for Harry to make a royal return was not on the agenda'. 'There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years,' another source told the Mail. 'There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about.' It's unclear which side reached out first to book the catch-up, and it's understood no-one from Prince William's team was present. 'The King has consistently shown he loves both his sons and, as he has done in the past, is prepared to meet Harry when their diaries allow,' a source told the Mail. 'It's not unusual for aides from different households to meet, especially when there is a new influx of staff starting, but this is a significant moment. 'If there is a period of calm and reflection on the part of the duke, then there be a way forward for him to begin along the road of repairing his relationship with his father.' In September, Harry is expected to return to the UK to attend the annual WellChild Awards, of which he is patron, providing a potential opportunity for the pair to meet in person for the first time in 18 months. They last saw each other back in early 2024, when Harry made a quick dash back to London to see his father shortly after he revealed his cancer diagnosis. If Harry and the King arrange a reunion, it would mark a significant turning point in the ongoing feud between the duke and the royal family, which was sparked before Harry and Meghan sensationally quit official duties and moved to the US. September is already set to be a big month for the royals, with the announcement on Monday that they will be hosting US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump on a state visit. The latest development comes after Harry gave an explosive interview to the BBC in May, during which he made it clear he was hoping to reconcile with his estranged family after exchanging public barbs in recent years. 'There's no point in continuing to fight any more,' he told the broadcaster. 'Life is precious … Forgiveness is 100 per cent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back.' It also recently emerged that Harry was planning to extend an invitation to the royal family to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham in a bid to finally end their years-long tension. The Mail on Sunday reported last month that Harry 'agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family', as revealed by a source. If accepted, it would mean Harry could be pictured with his estranged family for the first time since 2022.
