Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have been tipped to represent King Charles at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games by a royal commentator.
The next Games are due to be held in Birmingham, posing a challenge to the Royal Family given their ongoing frosty relations with the Duke of Sussex.
In July 2027, Birmingham will host the international sporting contest fronted by Harry, which promotes wounded serving and retired military personnel.

It is unclear if the Royal Family will attend, with no official word from the Firm on the event.
In the case that the feud remains ongoing, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams believes the Princesses of York could be a bridge between the two parties.
“Invictus, which Harry founded, is an important military charity. We don’t yet know if the King, who is Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, will attend,” he began.
However, Mr Fitzwilliams added that Charles “is certain to be represented”.

“He might ask Beatrice and Eugenie, both of whom get on with the Sussexes, to represent him,” the commentator speculated.
“This would be quite within his rights as monarch.”
Even if Beatrice and Eugenie maintain good relations with the Sussexes, Mr Fitzwilliams felt their presence may not be satisfactory.
“It would obviously be seen as a snub,” he continued to tell The Express.
