Will Prince Harry extend invitation to Royal family for Invictus Games 2027? ‘King absolutely wants a…'
Prince Harry is planning to reach out to the Royal Family by inviting them to the 2027 Invictus Games, a new report stated. This is seen as a strong sign that he wants to make peace with King Charles and other senior Royals.

According to Daily Mail sources, an email invitation will go out later this month, followed by a more formal one. The timing was reportedly chosen to give the Royal Family the best shot at attending, since King Charles usually plans his schedule up to three years in advance.
This unexpected move could lead to the first public appearance of Harry with the Royal Family since Queen Elizabeth's funeral. But some royal experts are skeptical.

Ingrid Seward said: 'The King might attend to show support for the Armed Forces and congratulate Harry on the most significant success in his life. The only reason the King is wary of associating with his son is that he no longer trusts him not to repeat their private conversations as he has done in the past. This goes for all the working members of the family.'
Royal commentator Katie Nicholl added: 'The King absolutely wants a relationship with his youngest son and with his grandchildren. He has an incredible capacity for forgiveness and he wants to be magnanimous in all of this and therefore there's certainly a possibility that the King might consider attending Invictus.' Prince Harry sent invitation to Royal family
Harry, who was recently seen at the 2025 Invictus Games, is personally backing the invitation. Sources stated it's meant to give his family plenty of time to plan if they decide to come.
Back in 2014, Prince William, Queen Camilla, King Charles, and Harry were all pictured together at the Invictus Games opening ceremony in London.
Even though the Royal Family has shown strong support for the Invictus Games in the past, accepting the invitation this time could be tricky. The 2027 Games will be held at the NEC in Birmingham from July 12 to July 17. That last day is also Queen Camilla's 80th birthday, and there may already be celebrations in the works.
It's also unclear if Harry will bring Meghan and their children, Archie (6) and Lilibet (4), back to the UK. In the past, he's said he won't travel with his family unless they have full police protection.
A source told, 'Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family. Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans. The Royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated,' as reported by Daily Mail. Prince Harry to fix things with family
Prince Harry, now 40, recently told the BBC that he would like to fix things with his father and the rest of the family, even though his memoir Spare caused a lot of hurt.
'There's no point in continuing to fight any more,' he said. 'Life is precious.' He also added: 'Forgiveness is 100 per cent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back.'
Prince Harry, William, and King Charles were last seen together in July 2018.
As of now, it's still unclear if Meghan and the kids will come to the Games.
The couple was last seen with their children in a 2021 holiday photo. Prince Harry to take first move to reunite family
This may be the first time Harry has made a public move to reunite the family. He reportedly approved the guest list and wording of the invitations himself. The emails will be sent to the Royal Family's private secretaries.
The Games are expected to bring a big economic and social boost to Birmingham. A spokesperson for Invictus said: 'No formal invitations have been issued as preparations are in the early stages.'

Denis Villeneuve to direct the next James Bond movie
June 25 (Reuters) - Oscar-nominated Denis Villeneuve will direct the next "James Bond" film, Amazon's MGM Studios said on Wednesday, taking charge of one of Hollywood's most enigmatic spies and longest-running movie series. Villeneuve, the Canadian film director and writer, has earned critical acclaim for films such as "Sicario," "Dune," "Dune: Part Two," "Blade Runner 2049," and "Arrival". He was nominated for Best Director at the 2017 Oscars for sci-fi film "Arrival", which starred Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, and for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Dune", based on author Frank Herbert's highly acclaimed 1965 novel of the same name, at the 2022 Oscars. "I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility," Villeneuve said in a statement. The upcoming Bond movie will be the first under Amazon's MGM Studios, which took creative control of the film franchise under a new joint venture with longtime rights holders Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli earlier this year. The franchise is yet to name a new lead actor following Daniel Craig's departure after "No Time to Die" in 2021, which earned nearly $800 million in global box office collections. Inspired by Ian Fleming's novels, the Bond franchise has spanned over 60 years, grossing more than $7 billion at the global box office, making it one of the most successful ever. Producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce the next Bond movie. (Reporting by Rishabh Jaiswal and Shubham Kalia in Bengaluru; Editing by Saad Sayeed)

Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph rewind the clock as they tear through Australian batting at Kensington Oval
Pacers Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph combined for nine wickets as they put in a performance reminiscent of West Indies' fearsome bowling attacks of old against inexperienced Australia on Day 1 of the first Test at Kensington Oval. read more Shamar Joseph took four wickets as Australia were bowled out for just 180. Image: Reuters In a performance reminiscent of West Indies' fearsome bowling attacks of old, Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph tore through Australia on Wednesday, toppling them for a meagre 180 on day one of the first Test on a lively pitch at Kensington Oval. Mitchell Starc, skipper Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood saved Australia's blushes, taking four wickets between them to send the West Indies in at stumps at 57 for four, trailing the tourists by 123 runs to leave the match delicately poised. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph rewind the clock at Kensington Oval With Seales claiming a magnificent five-wicket haul and Joseph unleashing thunderbolts that left Australia's batsmen floundering, the visitors never recovered from a catastrophic start that saw them reeling at 22 for three. 'This one was pretty special for me,' Seales said. 'I have played against (Australia) once, and was injured. To play against them and get five on the first day was pretty special. 'With the new ball, the plan was to bowl fuller. We knew the batters would come hard if we gave them width, and the plan was to bowl full and as much at the stumps as possible. 'A little slower than what the Australians would have expected, and that made them play a lot more. 'Shamar was special today … He has a love for Australia. He got through the top order and made it easy for us in the middle and at the end.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Australia, already vulnerable with Steve Smith sidelined by injury and Marnus Labuschagne axed, watched in dismay as their re-jigged top order wilted under relentless pressure from the Caribbean quicks. Joseph got the Bridgetown carnival started in the fourth over when he trapped teenage debutant Sam Konstas leg before wicket after a review. The 25-year-old then delivered a scorching delivery that all-rounder Cameron Green could only edge to Justin Greaves at second slip. Seales then joined the party, coaxing a thick top edge from Josh Inglis that sent him trudging back to the pavilion for five, completing Australia's horror start. Veteran Usman Khawaja and Travis Head briefly stemmed the tide with an 89-run partnership, but Joseph struck again at the perfect moment, removing Khawaja for 47 – agonisingly short of his half-century – and extinguishing Australian hopes of a recovery. The middle order offered little resistance, with Beau Webster (11) and Alex Carey (8) falling cheaply before Greaves claimed the prize scalp of Head for 59, caught behind. Captain Pat Cummins (28) provided the only lower-order resistance before Seales returned to sweep through the tail, completing his five-wicket masterclass and leaving Australia to contemplate the wreckage of their innings. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD West Indies would have fancied their chances at that point, but Starc had other plans, snapping up the wickets of Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell in an action-packed opening spell. Cummins then had Keacy Carty caught behind on 20 before Hazlewood bowled nightwatchman Jomel Warrican out for a duck, as the Barbadian sun set on an exhilarating day of Test cricket dominated by pace.

Prince William planning to cut Prince Harry's children from any ‘Royal roles'. Can they keep their title?
Prince William is preparing to take the throne when the time comes, but he may leave no room for his younger brother, Prince Harry, or Harry's family. Prince William is set to exclude Prince Harry's family from royal responsibilities once he becomes king, REUTERS/Toby Melville(REUTERS) Multiple royal sources suggest that once William becomes king, he plans to cut ties not just with Harry and Meghan Markle, but also with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. 'When he becomes king, Archie and Lilibet won't have roles, titles, or royal responsibilities,' a source told journalist Rob Shuter. 'He doesn't want any lingering ties to the Sussexes.' The Prince of Wales is said to be focused on both caring for his father, King Charles III, who is battling cancer.

Inside William's plan to rewrite the monarchy Now the big question is, can Harry's children keep their royal titles? Legally, yes, the monarch has the power to amend royal titles via a new Letters Patent. 'William is shaping the monarchy his way,' one insider noted. 'No Hollywood royals, no second chances.' Since relocating to California, Harry and Meghan have carved out a new life in the public eye. Some insiders have since claimed William would 'love' to see Harry's marriage fall apart. 'As long as Meghan's on the scene, William simply won't entertain the possibility of making peace with Harry,' a source told Radar Online. 'It would only work if she were long gone from Harry's life. Realistically, William doesn't expect his brother to leave Meghan, but he wouldn't be the least surprised if she gets bored of Harry at some point and spits him out.'
