Uganda ‘Pulls Out of Invictus’ over ‘Harry-Meghan Nonsense’, Military Chief Says

Uganda’s military chief said the country will not take part in the Invictus Games, calling the move a show of support for King Charles III.

  • On Wednesday, Ugandan Chief of Defence Forces General Muhoozi Kainerugaba announced Uganda's withdrawal from the Invictus Games, stating the move signals support for His Majesty King Charles III and the monarchy.
