Prince Harry has received an upsetting news as a royal expert claimed that extending an olive branch to King Charles and Prince William will not solve the problem.
As per reports, the Duke of Sussex has “agreed” to extend an invite to the monarch, the Prince of Wales and other royals to the 2027 Invictus Games.
However, according to former Buckingham Palace spokesman Dickie Arbiter, it will take more than that for Harry to mend fractured ties.
He noted that the road to forgiveness won't be easy and that a simple gesture isn’t enough while speaking with The Sun.
"There's got to be a lot to happen between now and then. You can't just brush everything under the carpet. There's got to be an apology,” Arbiter said.
He added, “The king is sort of commander in chief of the armed services, and [The Invictus Games] would be a good fit and a good show for him to appear, but it's a very difficult one.”
"He's been placed in a dilemma as to how to cope with this."
A report by Mail on Sunday revealed that Harry has “agreed” to invite the royal family to 2027 Invictus Games.
"Invictus hopes the royal family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans,” they said.
"The royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated," they added.
However, a spokesman for Invictus shared with the publication, "No formal invitations have been issued as preparations are in the early stages."
