Mike Tindall has not taken important Invictus Games role – as Prince Harry marks 10th anniversary
Mike Tindall has not been given a "high position" as part of the Invictus Games, despite reports.
It was reported on GB News on Wednesday that Zara Tindall's husband had been given an important role in the Invictus Games, but OK! now understands that this is not the case. Mike, 45, is married to Harry's cousin Zara and they share three children.
Prince Harry, 39, set up the Invictus Games, a sports competition for injured servicemen and women, along with the Ministry of Defence back in 2014 and marked its 10th anniversary at a service yesterday.
The Duke of Sussex was seen beaming and shaking hands with fans after the special thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral in London on Wednesday 8 May.
After interacting with royal fans, Harry was escorted to his car to depart from the event. This warm reception followed the Royal Family's decision to skip the event at St Paul's Cathedral.
While Harry was at the Invictus Games event, King Charles was accompanied by a large group of royals showing unity at the Buckingham Palace garden party held just two miles away from St Paul's, reports the Mirror.
However, Harry wasn't alone at the service as his uncle Earl Charles Spencer and aunt Lady Jane Fellowes, both siblings of the late Princess Diana, were present.
Also in attendance were Harry's cousin Louis Spencer, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's wife Akshata Murty, his lawyer David Sherbourne, and former Army officer Mark Dyer, who has been like a "second dad" to Harry.
The atmosphere at St Paul's Cathedral was thick with anticipation as Royal supporters were delighted to see Harry, dispelling concerns about any potential boos for the Duke. Harry's wife Meghan Markle did not travel to the UK with him for this trip.
After jetting into London on Tuesday, Prince Harry is expected to make a swift return to his home in America. Optimistic hopes were high that he could reconnect with his father, King Charles, throughout his UK stopover, but it was confirmed that a meeting wouldn't be happening.
Addressing the queries and rumours swirling about a possible meeting between the Royal father-son duo, a spokesperson for Harry said: "In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the Duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty's full programme.
"The Duke of course is understanding of his father's diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."
