Overview
- Prince Harry began a week of Invictus Games engagements in London, attending a Foundation conversation at Chatham House to mark the one‑year countdown to Birmingham 2027.
- The High Court dismissed his claims against Associated Newspapers on Tuesday, July 7, with judges rejecting the allegations brought in his privacy case.
- Buckingham Palace says an offer of accommodation could not be finalised in time while Harry’s team says the invitation was withdrawn after it had been accepted, producing conflicting public accounts.
- Meghan Markle and the couple’s two children did not travel for the London leg because the Royal and VIP Executive Committee declined to provide the taxpayer‑funded police protection the family sought.
- The visit keeps focus on strained family ties and security policy, and the Invictus Foundation announced Uganda as a new member as Harry moves on to further charity events in Birmingham later this week.
