In my experience, family reunions usually mean sweat, screaming toddlers, and a sea of matching T-shirts someone swore was a “cute idea.” So when news broke that Prince Harry is allegedly planning his own family reunion, it was hard not to imagine King Charles rocking a polo with The Windsors: Established 1066 on it.
Unfortunately—or fortunately, depending on your tolerance for emotional chaos and castle drama—this royal reunion isn’t happening over paper plates and potato salad. But it might be happening… at the 2027 Invictus Games.
For context: Prince Harry hasn’t exactly been brunching with his brother Prince William or popping in on his dad King Charles since decamping to California with Meghan Markle, Duchess of Netflix. The vibes have been… chilly. Think: eye contact at funerals only (see also: Queen Elizabeth’s service in 2022 and Prince Edward’s in 2024).
But now? Harry’s apparently ready to play peacemaker—with a royal side of event planning.
Enter: The Invictus Games
Launched by Harry in 2014, Invictus is his pride-and-joy multi-sport event for wounded veterans. It happens every other year, and in 2027, it might double as the most awkward family reunion in British history.
According to Mail on Sunday, Harry wants to extend an “olive branch” to Charles and William by inviting them to the next Games. The hope? That they’ll set aside their Windsor-worthy tensions for the sake of the veterans (and, possibly, family healing). “Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend,” a source claimed.
And sure, 2027 feels like forever away—but if we’ve learned anything about royal schedules, it’s that you’ve got to book tea three years in advance and send it via four couriers and a corgi.
To be fair, this isn’t the first time Harry’s hinted at waving the white flag. Back in May, he told the BBC he’d “love reconciliation” and that “there’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.”
Which, okay, sounds mature—but also like something someone says right before leaking the group chat again.
So will Charles and William RSVP “yes”? Will there be awkward clapping from the royal box? Will Meghan be there in sunglasses looking like peace in a trench coat?
Stay tuned. The royal family reunion might not come with T-shirts, but it’ll definitely come with headlines.
