Prince William announces huge event – but there’s a Prince Harry clash | Royal | News
Prince Harry’s return to England may have gotten off to a chaotic start, but it’s not over yet as he is scheduled to clash with his brother Prince William on Friday. The Duke of Sussex will be in Birmingham to mark the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games, while the Prince of Wales will play in the Royal Charity Polo Cup at Guards Polo Club in Windsor.
The annual event is always a highlight in the royal diary and one that fans look forward to. This year will be the 15th time the match has been staged and it is planned to raise over £15 million for charities close to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ hearts.
The money raised will then be divided among 10 selected organizations affiliated with their work.
Kensington Palace confirmed that the charities the couple chose included the Welsh Air Ambulance, the Royal College of Paramedics, Shout, Ty Hafan, the Forward Trust, Evelina London Children’s Hospital and the Maternal Mental Health Alliance.
We Are Farming Minds, The Passage and the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity will also benefit from the large sum of money raised.
The clash of diaries will come three days after Prince Harry lost his High Court privacy battle against Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), publisher of the Daily Mail. The Duke of Sussex claimed that 14 different articles were based on information obtained through unlawful information gathering methods, but the judge did not find these allegations proven during the hearing.
The Duke and Lady Lawrence added: “The fact that this court has chosen to reject them represents an inconsistency that is difficult to understand or reconcile with common sense or the evidence heard in the courtroom.
“This is a complete and obvious exoneration, but unfortunately not entirely unexpected. But the court’s attempts to exonerate the Mail are as shocking as they are completely misplaced.”
“When the court says there is insufficient evidence of wrongdoing, even though the documents show the contrary, one wonders how justice will be served.”
ANL welcomed the decision.
