Uganda reverses Invictus Games withdrawal after King Charles assurance

Uganda has reversed its decision to withdraw from the 2027 Invictus Games after King Charles's principal private secretary assured its military chief that the King supported its participation.

• Uganda has confirmed it will take part in the Invictus Games in Birmingham in 2027, reversing the withdrawal announced last week by General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
• Kainerugaba reversed the decision after a telephone call with Sir Clive Alderton, the King's principal private secretary, who said the King had "no problem" with Uganda's participation.
• Kainerugaba had announced the withdrawal last week, saying Uganda would not participate in anything without the King's approval, following a palace letter clarifying Prince Harry and Meghan were non-working royals.
