Uganda Withdraws from Invictus Games Over Royal Feud

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Kainerugaba's X post turns the Invictus Games into a diplomatic bargaining chip, showing Uganda prioritizes royal establishment ties over veterans' sporting solidarity.
💡 Why it matters
The withdrawal shrinks Invictus participation and signals African nations may side with the monarchy in the royal rift, complicating Prince Harry's international charity work.

Uganda's military chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba announced the country is withdrawing from Prince Harry's Invictus Games, citing respect for King Charles and criticism of the 'Harry-Meghan nonsense.' The decision reverses Uganda's commitment to participate made just two months.
