Prince Harry's 'Strategic' Move: Invictus Games in 2027 Labeled Perfect Time for Duke to Bring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to U.K.
The 2027 Invictus Games in Britain could be the 'perfect time' to properly introduce Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to their royal in-laws.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Diana could be heading back to Britain in a few years time.
"The Invictus Games in 2027 could indeed be a strategic opportunity for Prince Harry to bring his children to the U.K." PR executive Renae Smith told an outlet. "Given that they haven't visited since 2022, their presence could symbolize a gesture of goodwill and a desire to reconnect with his roots."
Prince Archie was born in London in May 2019 but was swiftly carried away to California by his parents during early 2020's "Megxit" drama. Princess Lilibet arrived in the world in Santa Barbara, and both briefly visited Britain in June 2022 for the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. One royal insider said at the time that the 1-year-old princess would likely have no memory of the trip as she grows up.
"This move could generate positive publicity, highlighting the importance of family unity and the continuation of his charitable efforts in the U.K.," Smith observed. "It is crucial to handle this situation delicately. There is a risk that some might perceive this as 'using' the children to mend his [Prince Harry's] relationship with the royal family, which could attract negative attention."
She then critically pointed out: "It’s important for the couple [Harry and Meghan] to avoid exaggerating or portraying themselves as martyrs for attending or bringing their children. They should be matter-of-fact about their attendance and aim to avoid any conflict (Let's see if this is possible for them!)."
As the Invictus Games circle back to their originating nation in a few years, it is difficult to predict where relations between the Sussex family and the monarchy stand. Numerous royal analysts are not optimistic about the prospects.
"I see no substance to the rumor that Harry will split his time between the United States and Britain," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams shared. "He has serious concerns about security and still has a case pending against the Home Office regarding this, which is awaiting trial," the expert added. "It is obviously important that there is an arrangement, probably, though not necessarily, with the royal family, which gives him a secure permanent base which he can use when he does visit Britain."
The Duchess of Sussex has not set foot on British soil since the late Queen's state funeral on September 19, 2022. Harry returned for King Charles III's coronation, his June court appearances, as well as the WellChild Awards in early September.
Archie and Lilibet Diana became a prince and princess upon Charles III's accession to the throne on September 8, 2022, but as mentioned, neither young royal has been in the kingdom since they inherited their styles.
