Princess Anne Speaks Out Amid Prince Harry Invictus Games Invitation

London, January 14, 2026 — Princess Anne, the King’s sister and President of the Carers Trust, released a statement emphasizing the importance of carers in the UK. This comes amid discussions about Prince Harry’s potential return for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.

Princess Anne Highlights the Role of Carers

In her statement, Princess Anne said:
“The last year has, once again, been challenging for carers. Many people around the country are struggling with the demands of their caring role, unable to access respite and feeling isolated and exhausted.”

She added that carers are “the backbone of our society,” dedicating their time and energy to others while facing emotional and financial pressures.

Achievements of the Carers Trust

Princess Anne praised the Carers Trust for its work over the past year:

• Supporting about 85% of carers across the UK

• Delivering programs that make real changes at local levels

• Creating better and fairer opportunities for young carers

She described the Trust’s work as life-changing and expressed pride in its ongoing efforts to improve support services nationwide.

Royal Duties and Family Focus

Known for her dedication to royal responsibilities, Princess Anne continues to prioritize public service over speculation.

While she maintains cordial ties with Prince Harry, she ensures that royal protocol and tradition remain respected. Reports suggest Harry may invite senior royals, including Anne, to the 2027 Invictus Games, but she remains focused on her charitable commitments.

Her statement serves as a reminder that the royal family’s public work remains at the forefront, even amid headlines about personal or family matters.
