Uganda’s military chief says the country will stop participating in Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, framing the decision as coming in “respect for King Charles.” General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also the son of Uganda’s president, announces the move in a post on X, saying Uganda will not take part in any activity without approval from the King.
Several outlets report the announcement is connected to wider tensions involving Harry and Meghan, which Kainerugaba describes as “Harry-Meghan nonsense.” The reports vary in emphasis. Some highlight the phrasing about needing His Majesty’s approval, while others focus on claims that the issue is tied to a letter or intervention attributed to King Charles or his office.
Some sources also say Uganda’s position may be reversed. The Mirror and Daily Mail report that King Charles’s involvement—described as contact by a private secretary—leads Uganda to reconsider and plan to compete in the next Invictus Games. Other outlets focus on the initial withdrawal decision and its stated rationale, without confirming a later reversal.
