I did not suggest that this would be a pre-requisite for hosting the Games. But I do think it would be smart for the Foundation to have more events and possibly visits designed around promoting the Invictus Games to new countries, developing relationships with new participants, and fundraising...

Agreed. I thought there were a couple of clumsy moments but overall it seems to have gone really well for promoting Invictus and strengthening relationships between IG and potential future hosts/other participants. I think Harry and Meghan handled themselves well and I did not get any sense of...

Thanks for sharing. I am not familiar enough with Misan's background to comment - my knowledge of him is that he photographs Harry and Meghan in a largely personal capacity but has also done work at professional events like Invictus (I believe he was present at the 2025 launch in February as...

I am personally uncomfortable assuming that the individuals who were both photographed and interviewed had no agency in deciding whether or not to participate in this visit and don't really see how that directly correlates to Nigeria's poverty rates. The entire point of the visit is to garner...

If you are going to make an allegation that the pictures were taken without consent and as a means for Harry and Misan to exploit injured servicemembers for profit and personal gain, I think it would be fair to share the evidence to support that. I'd love to see it, personally. I know I said...

Catching up on the trip so far and this caught my eye: Harry made a solo visit to the Nigerian Army Reference Hospital Kaduna today, meeting with around 50 soldiers and discussing the possibility of participating in the Invictus Games in the future. He really is in his element with his fellow...

As I said, I do not know if they have or haven't commented. I have yet to find any official comment about the trip from anyone other than official Nigerian sources. But yes, if they haven't, I think it would be wise for them to do so.

I see what you're saying but I think given how high profile this visit is, I can see why they are taking this approach. It may be helpful for Archewell to give some additional briefing to the press along the lines of, "this is a private visit in support of the Invictus Games and not intended...

I don't disagree with you. I don't think they have properly articulated what unique threats they are facing in the UK that require that level of protection - which is why I felt they would lose that lawsuit from the beginning. I believe the kids would have been fine at Balmoral too. This is...

Respectfully, this is not entirely true. The ruling in Harry's security lawsuit show (see page 24 of the judgment) proves that the entire family, children included, intended to visit the UK between September 2nd and September 11th. Their request for security was denied, hence they were unable to...

Well said. It is an extremely sad situation - I always figured they would reconcile at least privately somewhere down the line. If cancer, of all things, can't induce a bit of a thaw in relations, then I'm not sure what can. But reconciliation is not always possible and, as you say, maybe not...

That's quite a remark to make. I'm not entirely sure who is being called manipulative here but I'll respond regardless since I'm quoted. I'm sorry (sincerely) if the conversation listed above upset you but not a single anti-British comment was made from either of us. The conversation was limited...

Lol, I certainly don't think it's as dramatic as anyone wanting to send anyone to the Tower. What I mean is that, if the situation between the Sussexes and Harry's UK family remains as acrimonious as it is said to, I don't think the kids should be subject to that. While I doubt either the King...

Agreed - no sense in subjecting the kids to that. Maybe someday cooler heads will prevail. I'm pretty interested in what kind of research Meghan is doing on her background. I found my biological family through AncestryDNA and 23andMe - the kind of information and records you can find these...

Maybe I'm naive but I honestly think the risk of most people viewing Harry and Meghan as official representatives of the BRF or UK is quite low at this point - whether in a negative or positive view. There may be silly comparisons in the media between them and working members of the BRF but that...

My understanding was always that they may not necessarily receive armed protection if there was no credible physical threat against them but they would likely receive some form of protection (even if it did not involve armed guards) which would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. So they...

Really happy to see Harry traveling in support of Invictus. He is at his best when focused on Invictus/helping veterans and I hope he continues to focus on this area and move on from the chaos of the last few years. There's so much he can do with Invictus and other areas to support veterans and...

I appreciate you have a different perspective and I can understand why some people may not be personally comfortable with these visits. But some of these kids think it's just really cool to see famous people. I've seen this personally with some of the more well-known hospitals in the Boston area...

Genuinely laughed out loud at the implication that a photographer being present invalidates a charitable visit. If that's the new standard, I hope those who are disparaging the Duchess of Sussex take a good look at the behavior of their own favorites.

That's exactly it. These are her well-documented interests from before her marriage to Harry. Meghan had a full life before her marriage and the fact that she's going back to her roots suggests to me she is moving on from that period of her life. Which I agree she should do. Isn't that what...

The little we know about this project so far feels true to Meghan's interests before meeting Harry and something she feels genuinely passionate about. That alone I think will make it more likely to succeed. I wish her the best. It is a competitive market for these types of projects. As for the...

That's bizarre and a little unkind briefing from the Palace if what the Sun is reporting is true. "If he went to Sandringham they feared they'd never be rid of him." What is that even supposed to mean? Lol. He has a family in California. Did they think he was going to camp out on the lawn at...

This is one of those stories I think will end up getting blown out of proportion. I'm sure Harry wants to offer whatever support he can to his father while he is ill and maybe made an offer along the lines that's suggested in the article but maybe in a "let me know if you need anything" kind of...

The website looks nice. I do wish they had excluded the coat of arms though - I think it's just going to instigate histrionic reactions that they don't need if they truly are trying to rebrand from their past life. I know they will be attacked no matter what they do or say but IMO this was...

[In reference to Invictus...] I would be surprised if the UK bid was successful. I agree that smaller events like the one in May would suffice if they feel the need to return to the UK. I think the competitors and organizers deserve better than the inevitable toxic media circus that would follow...
