In a surprising development, Mike Tindall, husband of King Charles' niece Zara, has been appointed as a patron of the Invictus Games, the sporting event founded by Prince Harry in 2014.
According to royal commentator Angela Levin, who spoke to GB News, this move has left Prince Harry "absolutely furious."

Levin claimed that the Invictus Games have become "too royal" due to the involvement of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. She suggested that Tindall's appointment could be a way to "ease Harry out" and reduce the couple's influence over the event.
"Mike Tindall, who is married to the niece of King Charles, has been made a patron of the Invictus Games," Levin said. "I wonder if that is a way to ease Harry out. He has been very nice about Harry. But it's become too royal. Much too royal."

Levin also criticized Meghan Markle's involvement in the games, claiming that the Duchess led a march with ex-military participants last year and "looked like she was at a dress show." She added that some people involved with the games were upset by Meghan's lack of military knowledge and her speeches.
The news of Tindall's appointment comes amid ongoing tensions between Prince Harry and the royal family. Levin claimed that a reconciliation is unlikely during Harry's upcoming visit to the UK for the 10th-anniversary service of the Invictus Games, as he will be "rushing off" to join Meghan in Africa afterward.
Prince Harry's commitment to the Invictus Games remains strong, as he founded the event in partnership with the Ministry of Defence to support the rehabilitation of injured and sick military personnel and veterans. However, his recent legal battle with the Home Office over police protection has raised concerns about his security arrangements during visits to the UK.

As reported by Express, an Invictus Games spokesperson confirmed that Prince Harry will attend the anniversary service at St. Paul's Cathedral on May 8. The event will mark a decade of the games "changing lives and saving lives through sport," according to a tweet from the official Invictus Games account.
The speculation surrounding Mike Tindall's new role and its potential impact on Prince Harry's involvement with the Invictus Games has sparked discussions among royal observers. While some believe Tindall's appointment could help "detoxify" the brand, others question whether it is an attempt to sideline the Duke of Sussex.

As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on Prince Harry's upcoming visit to the UK and any further developments regarding his role in the Invictus Games. The event remains a significant part of his legacy, and his continued support for the competitors and their families is likely to remain a priority, despite the ongoing family tensions and the challenges posed by his new life in the United States.
