Uganda withdraws from Invictus Games after King Charles ruling on Harry
Uganda withdrew from Harry's Invictus Games. King Charles ruled Harry and Meghan are not working royals.
Uganda withdrew from Prince Harry's Invictus Games after Buckingham Palace said Harry and Meghan are private individuals, not working royals. Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba said his country would not take part without the King's approval.
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba said he felt forced to disregard what he called the Harry-Meghan nonsense. The palace released the letter on Monday with no warning to the couple.
Harry's team says he learned of it just three minutes before it became public. His staff blamed the timing and lack of warning for Uganda's withdrawal.
The Invictus Games supports wounded military veterans. Harry and Meghan had returned to the UK after six years in California.
The withdrawal is the latest fallout from this.

- 3 minutes
- Warning given to Harry before public
Why it mattersThe royal family publicly decided to distance itself from Harry and Meghan. This shows immediate real-world consequences.
