<\/p>\nPrince Harry made a discreet arrival at the Royal Hospital Chelsea this morning for a series of confidential meetings connected to the Invictus Games Foundation.<\/p>\n
The Duke of Sussex, 41, slipped onto the grounds of the veterans’ nursing facility through a side entrance shortly before 12.30pm, successfully bypassing assembled journalists and photographers.<\/p>\n
His visit forms part of ongoing engagements marking one year until the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.<\/p>\n
The duke, who founded the adaptive sports competition for military personnel and veterans after being inspired by America’s Warrior Games, arrived in Britain on July 6 for the countdown celebrations.<\/p>\n
The Duke of Sussex attends a series of private meetings relating to the work of the Invictus Games Foundation, including a summit for international Team Managers, and preparations for the upcoming Invictus Spirit Awards presented by ATCO<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex had been expected to accompany her husband to the Royal Hospital Chelsea engagement but pulled out of the London leg of his trip.<\/p>\n
Her absence was confirmed on July 4, with security concerns cited as the reason Meghan, 44, would not travel to the capital.<\/p>\n
The couple’s two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are also staying away from London.<\/p>\n

At the time of the announcement, no decision had been reached regarding whether the family might join Harry for other portions of his UK visit taking place outside the capital city.<\/p>\n
Queen Camilla was observed being driven past the Royal Hospital Chelsea roughly 40 minutes prior to the Duke of Sussex’s arrival.<\/p>\n
The Queen, 78, was travelling to the Wimbledon tennis championships when her vehicle passed the venue where Harry would shortly be conducting his Invictus Foundation business.<\/p>\n

The near-miss between the two royals appeared to be purely coincidental, with their paths crossing only briefly as Camilla continued her journey to the All England Club.<\/p>\n
Harry’s low-key approach to the engagement stood in marked contrast to his more public appearances earlier in the week, including attending a documentary premiere on July 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry made a discreet arrival at the Royal Hospital Chelsea this morning for a series of confidential…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,983,1852,2331,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-681528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-prince-harry","tag-royal","tag-sgg","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
