Prince Harry is preparing to make a major public attempt at reconciliation with the Royal Family by inviting them to attend the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.

The Duke of Sussex will send an emailed invitation later this month, followed by a formal invitation, in what sources describe as the strongest indication yet of his desire to mend relations with the King and other senior royals.

The Invictus Games are scheduled to take place at Birmingham's NEC from 12 to 17 July 2027.

The Games are expected to bring substantial economic and social benefits to Birmingham.

Prince Harry is preparing to make a major public attempt at reconciliation with the Royal Family by inviting them to attend the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.

Sources close to the Duke revealed that the invitation's timing was carefully planned to accommodate Charles's practice of scheduling commitments up to three years ahead.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: "Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family.

"Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans."

The source added: "The Royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated."

The invitations' recipients and wording have reportedly been approved by Harry, with emails to be sent to private secretaries at the Palace.

The extraordinary gesture has created a significant scheduling dilemma for royal aides, as the Games' closing date of 17 July coincides with Queen Camilla's 80th birthday, for which celebrations are likely already being planned.

Questions remain about whether the Duke would bring Meghan and their children, six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet, to the UK for the event.

Harry has previously stated he cannot bring his family to Britain without "full police protection".

Despite the Royal Family's historically strong support for Invictus, the scheduling clash presents a challenge should any members wish to accept the invitation.

Harry's desire for reconciliation was evident in a BBC interview last month, where he expressed openness to repairing family relationships despite acknowledging the hurt caused by his memoir, Spare.

"There's no point in continuing to fight any more," he said. "Life is precious."

The Duke added: "Forgiveness is 100 per cent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back."

A spokesman for Invictus said: "No formal invitations have been issued as preparations are in the early stages."
