  "account": "Uganda has abruptly decided to withdraw from the Invictus Games, a sports competition for wounded military veterans organized by Prince Harry, just two months after committing to participate. General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the chief of the Uganda People's Defence Force and son of President Yoweri Museveni, announced the decision via social media, citing a desire to avoid appearing opposed to King Charles III. Ugandan government spokesman Alan Kasujja confirmed the withdrawal, stating that General Kainerugaba has the final say on the UPDF's involvement in the games. The announcement came following a letter sent by the King to the Sussexes, clarifying that Prince Harry and Meghan are no longer considered royal figures. Royal sources claim the King supports initiatives that aid wounded service personnel. However, the Invictus Games organization has not received any official communication about the withdrawal and is seeking clarification.",
  "summary": "Uganda is pulling out of the Invictus Games, a sports event for wounded military veterans run by the Duke of Sussex, only two months after the country said it would join.",
