The Duke of Sussex made a brief visit to the UK and attended a service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The Invictus Games is a sporting competition for injured service men and women which Prince Harry helped found. A crowd gathered outside St Paul’s to greet the prince as he arrived, and Prince Harry gave a warm greeting to his uncle, Earl Spencer, who was sitting behind him in the cathedral.
Despite being in London at the same time, the Duke of Sussex did not meet with the King who is receiving treatment for cancer. The King met members of the public at a Buckingham Palace garden party a little over two miles away. The Duke of Sussex’s spokesperson said that the King’s “full programme” prevented a meeting from happening. The Duke of Sussex is also not expected to meet the Prince or Princess of Wales, who is also receiving treatment for cancer while in the UK.
Prince Harry lives in California now and last visited the King in person shortly after his announcement in February that he was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer. The King has since returned to some public duties but is continuing to receive medical care. The Duke of Sussex was expected to deliver a reading during the service at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Despite his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, not joining him on this visit, Prince Harry is scheduled to meet her in Nigeria, where he will travel after his stop in London. The couple were invited by Nigeria’s chief of defence staff after they met at the Invictus Games held last year in Germany
