WellChild and the Invictus Games have removed Prince Harry's patronages. However, the reasons for their decisions are not entirely clear.
WellChild is a UK-based charity that provides support to seriously ill children and their families. The charity said that it had "mutually agreed" with Harry to end his patronage, but it did not give any further details.
The Invictus Games are an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick armed services personnel. The games were founded by Harry in 2014, and he has been the patron since then. The games said that it had "decided to transition" Harry's patronage to other members of the royal family, but it did not say why.
Some reports have suggested that Harry's recent admissions about his drug use may have been a factor in the decisions of WellChild and the Invictus Games. In an interview with The Me You Can't See, Harry said that he had used drugs and alcohol to cope with the stress of his royal role. He also said that he had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
However, it is also possible that other factors played a role in the decisions of WellChild and the Invictus Games. For example, Harry and Meghan have recently moved to the United States, and it may have been difficult for them to continue their work with the charities from afar.
Whatever the reasons, the decisions of WellChild and the Invictus Games are a significant blow to Harry. He has been a passionate advocate for both charities, and he will be missed by their staff and supporters.
It remains to be seen what Harry will do next. He has said that he wants to focus on his work with his Archewell Foundation, but it is possible that he will also look for other ways to support the causes that he cares about.
