According to an
insider,
Prince Harry is too polarizing to continue being a part of the organization. "The duke has become an increasingly divisive figure, particularly in the Armed Forces. And that is not good for Invictus.

Although some are calling for
Prince Harry to distance himself from the games, people who have taken part in the annual event have nothing but great things to say about the royal. "How do you ever thank somebody for changing your life, changing your family's life? There are no words," Royal Air Force sergeant
Michelle Turner said of Harry. "He is so relatable and so lovely to everybody and he loves this Invictus Games." Another participant, veteran
Stephen Hooper,
said, "If
Prince Harry hadn't started this, my life wouldn't have changed in such a positive way."

Prince Harry continues to face intense scrutiny after he was accused of
bullying the chair of his Sentebale charity,
Dr. Sophie Chandauka, prompting him to step down from the organization. Despite the allegations, an official investigation found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment at Sentebale. "Unsurprisingly, the Commission makes no findings of wrongdoing in relation to Sentebale's co-founder and former patron,
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex," Harry's representative said in a statement. "They also found no evidence of widespread bullying, harassment or misogyny and misogynoir at the charity, as falsely claimed by the current chair [Dr. Sophie Chandauka]. Despite all that, their report falls troublingly short in many regards, primarily the fact that the consequences of the current chair's actions will not be borne by her — but by the children who rely on Sentebale's support."
