Uganda Returns to Invictus After Royal Call | Belfast News

Uganda is back in the Invictus Games after a tense standoff with the King’s aide — sparked by a miscommunication over Harry and Meghan’s private status. General Muhoozi Kainerugaba had pulled Uganda out, claiming loyalty to the monarch and rejecting participation without royal approval, even calling it a stand against “that Harry-Meghan nonsense.” But Sir Clive Alderton, the King’s principal private secretary, swiftly clarified that King Charles III has no issue with Uganda’s involvement — urging them to resume preparations. The message worked: Uganda pledged to return. The confusion stemmed from a letter from Lord Benyon about Harry and Meghan’s new private status, which the General may have misread. Uganda’s return — just months after joining as Africa’s second nation — marks a major boost for the Invictus movement, especially as the King himself, who attended the first games in 2014, plans to attend next year in Birmingham.
