In a dramatic and tension-filled moment for the British Royal Family, King Charles and Prince William have reportedly delivered a final ultimatum to Prince Harry, leaving the Duke of Sussex stunned. The strained relationship between the brothers and their father has been a source of public fascination for years, but this latest development may mark a turning point in the ongoing royal rift.

According to insider reports, King Charles and Prince William’s ultimatum is said to revolve around Harry’s role within the family and the use of his royal title. After years of controversy, media appearances, and public criticism of the monarchy, the Royal Family is now drawing a line in the sand. Sources claim that the ultimatum was delivered with the utmost seriousness, signaling that Harry’s continued actions could result in even more severe consequences.

The pressure on Harry has been mounting, especially as King Charles faces ongoing health challenges and Prince William prepares for his future as king. The Royal Family is reportedly keen to resolve the internal strife before it causes further damage to the monarchy’s reputation.

For Prince Harry, this ultimatum represents a moment of reckoning. Sources close to the Duke reveal that he was “shocked to the core” by the sternness of the message from his father and brother. With his place in the Royal Family hanging in the balance, Harry now faces an impossible choice: mend fences or risk permanent estrangement.

As the world watches, it’s clear that this is more than just family drama—this could be a defining moment for the future of the British monarchy.

Prince Harry Appears in New Video as the Invictus Games Prepare to Head to Canada

Prince Harry is making a cameo in a new video promoting the next iteration of his Invictus Games.

On Sept. 5, the Duke of Sussex, 39, appeared in a clip shared to X by the official account for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. King Charles’ younger son is a former captain in the British Army and established the Invictus Games in 2014 as an international adaptive sports tournament for service personnel and veterans as a means for healing.

The new video was narrated by Major (Retired) Patrick Lévis, a former Team Canada competitor who competed at the Invictus Games in The Hague, Netherlands in 2022. It was interspersed with personal photos and footage from Invictus events past — including Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle wrapping Team U.K. athlete Lisa Johnston in a warm hug after she won gold in shot put at the 2022 competition.

“Sport has the ability to heal, to change lives and to save lives. For so many of these competitors, getting to the start line can be one of the hardest moments of their life. But at the Games, their lives are changed,” Prince Harry said in the video.

“Watching these magical moments happen and sport being the facilitator of that is very, very special for all of us to witness,” he added in the clip, set to uplifting music as action footage rolled — including Lévis competing.

“I am Patrick Lévis, and the Invictus Games changed my life,” he said. “Don’t miss the chance to let them change yours,” he added, directing viewers to the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025’s website to pre-register for tickets.

“We can’t wait to see you,” Prince Harry said with a smile as the video closed.

After a decade in the British Armed Forces, including two tours in Afghanistan, the Duke of Sussex launched the Invictus Games in London in 2014 to empower wounded, sick and injured servicemen and women through sports.

The event has since become a worldwide phenomenon, changing the lives of soldiers and their families from dozens of countries.

“I truly believe that we are at our best when we’re in service to others, and Invictus is all about upholding that value,” Prince Harry told PEOPLE in 2022.

The next Invictus Games will be held in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada in February 2025, and winter sports like alpine skiing, snowboarding, biathlon, Nordic skiing, skeleton and wheelchair curling will be introduced for the first time. The upcoming cycle will be the seventh Invictus Games, following the competitions in London (2014), Orlando (2016), Toronto (2017), Sydney (2018), The Hague (2022, after being bumped from 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and Düsseldorf (2023).

Prince Harry and Meghan, 43, kickstarted the countdown to the upcoming Invictus Games in British Columbia at the One Year to Go celebration in February, where the Duke of Sussex tried some of the new winter sports himself.

“We loved being back in Canada, a place so meaningful to both of us. It was an honor to be welcomed by the Four Host First Nations as we marked One Year To Go, together with Invictus coaches, competitors and families,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex exclusively told PEOPLE following the One Year to Go festivities in February.

“It filled our hearts to once again be surrounded by Canadian people, food and culture. We felt the Invictus spirit and excitement throughout Whistler and Vancouver and are so grateful to all our hosts for organizing such a memorable visit. We’re counting down the days until we return!” they added.
