Uganda pulls out of Invictus Games, Prince Harry's creation for veterans

Uganda has decided to withdraw from the Invictus Games, the international event founded by Prince Harry to support wounded, injured, and sick military personnel. This move comes just days after King Charles III clarified that Prince Harry will not resume his royal duties. Uganda's Defence Force Chief, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, explained that the country would not participate in any event without King Charles III's approval, in order to avoid appearing opposed to the king.

The Invictus Games, which began in 2014, has been held seven times, most recently in Vancouver, Canada. Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, continue their philanthropic work through their Archewell Foundation, focusing on veterans' services and mental health. Prince Harry, a former British Army officer with two tours in Afghanistan under his belt, has been vocal about the importance of emotional support for veterans, sharing his struggles in a 2023 Netflix series.
