Harry plays pickleball with children as controversy continues to cloud royals

  • On Friday, the Duke of Sussex visited Ninestiles, an Academy in Birmingham, to launch Inspire, a new Invictus Games education scheme, playing pickleball with students.
  • These public engagements occur as Harry's uncle, Earl Spencer, continues promoting a memoir detailing allegations about the King, insisting he is "telling the truth" about Charles's reaction to Diana's death.
  • The Earl alleges Charles stated "We'll forget her soon enough" following Diana's death, prompting an "unprecedented" response from Buckingham Palace, which stated "the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason."
  • Returning to the UK for his first public appearance since describing his life as "eventful," the Duke interacted with pupils and answered questions about his inspiration.
  • Pointing to Invictus Games competitors, Harry stated "It's these guys," emphasizing that this Invictus community of people who get knocked down but keep getting back up remains his primary focus.
