Uganda’s military commander announced that the nation will no longer participate in Prince Harry’s Invictus Games. The decision is a show of allegiance to King Charles III and the British monarchy.
General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Chief of Defence Forces in Uganda, made the announcement on social media. Known for his outspoken presence online, Kainerugaba stated the decision aimed to prevent any perception of opposition to King Charles III. He wrote, In order not to be construed as being opposed to His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom, whom we deeply revere, Uganda hereby withdraws from the Invictus Games. We shall not participate in anything that does not have His Majesty’s approval.
Kainerugaba is the son of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni. He has a history of making bold statements on social media. In January 2025, he returned to the platform, claiming his intent to shake up this world!
Newsweek is in contact with representatives of Prince Harry and the Ugandan government for further comments. The situation is ongoing and further updates are expected.
