King Charles persuades Uganda to return to Invictus Games
–
Neutral summary
Uganda has reversed its decision to withdraw from the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham after an intervention by King Charles. The monarch's private secretary, Sir Clive Alderton, called Uganda's chief of defence forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, to say the King had no objection to the country's participation. Uganda had pulled out last week to avoid being seen as opposed to the King. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said the intervention "can't address any uncertainty about the Sussexes."
