While visiting the Centre for Injury Studies at Imperial College London, King Charles met an athlete who previously competed in his son Prince Harry's Invictus Games.

King Charles III has made an increasingly rare comment about his youngest son, Prince Harry, amid the ongoing royal family rift. On Feb. 19, the monarch chatted with a former competitor of the Duke of Sussex's Invictus Games while visiting the Center for Injury Studies at Imperial College London.

King Charles discussed sports tournaments - including the Invictus Games - just days after the 2025 competition ended in Canada. The King's youngest son, Prince Harry, 40, founded the Invictus Games in 2014 for injured and sick servicemen and women as well as veterans to give them a chance to compete in adaptive sports.

King Charles has made his feelings clear as he spoke about the Invictus Games during a visit to Imperial College London's Centre for Injury Studies on Wednesday, where he met with former Army captain and parasport athlete David Henson.
