Prince Harry has decided he will attend the next Invictus Games event in London solo, marking a major change as his wife Meghan Markle would once always accompany him on visits.
The Duke of Sussex will fly back to the UK for a special commemorative service celebrating ten years since the first Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Harry famously made his first public appearance with Meghan as his girlfriend at Invictus 2017 in Toronto, however she has reportedly decided to skip this event over fears of receiving a “hostile reception”.
ITV’s royal editor Chris Shop told The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson on the publication’s Royal Exclusive show: “The first one [Invictus event] was in London and then there was one in Florida, and we’ve had Toronto where he first introduced Meghan to the world.
“I remember being there as she walked into that court, in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto. He’s [Harry’s] coming back to mark the 10th anniversary of Invictus. He’s going to give a reading at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Meghan’s not coming with him, so no Duchess of Sussex.”
Mr Ship also explained: “The difficulty is you remember last time they went to St Paul’s Cathedral, which was for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, they got booed.
“We heard the boos for them. We should be clear there was also people cheering for them, but there were definitely boos at St Paul’s Cathedral. So going back there I can see why Meghan may not wish to accompany Harry there.”
