Uganda Drops Out Over Royal Approval | Belfast News

Uganda’s military chief has pulled the nation from Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, citing refusal to participate without King Charles III’s approval — a move that signals escalating tension between the Sussexes and the Royal Household. The General, son of Uganda’s president and known for controversial social media posts, declared he’s shutting down support for what he calls “that Harry-Meghan nonsense,” while reaffirming loyalty to the monarch. This follows a letter from the Lord Chamberlain clarifying Harry and Meghan’s status as private citizens. Uganda had only joined the Invictus family two months ago, receiving equipment to aid wounded service members’ recovery. The Invictus Foundation is now investigating, as Harry prepares next year’s Birmingham event — one he hoped King Charles would attend. With the King’s longstanding support for wounded personnel, this political withdrawal adds unexpected complexity to the Games’ global mission.
