Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Dropped from £26M Birmingham Invictus Plan by Luke Pollard MP After Johnny Mercer’s Loss
Prince Harry is undoubtedly grappling with strong emotions following the loss of his key ally in the UK Parliament, Johnny Mercer. Mercer’s defeat in the recent election poses significant challenges for Harry’s efforts to bring the Invictus Games back to the UK in 2027, as reported by the BBC.
According to BBC sources, Johnny Mercer was among several prominent Conservative Party members who lost their seats in the 2024 general election, which saw the Labour Party achieve a sweeping victory. Mercer, the former Minister for Veterans Affairs, lost the Plymouth Moor View seat, which he had held since 2015, to Labour’s Fred Thomas. With this change, Plymouth is now fully represented by Labour MPs, while Luke Pollard retained his Plymouth Sutton and Devonport seat.
The loss of Mercer raises questions about who will now champion the Invictus Games in Birmingham, previously a focus for Prince Harry’s initiatives. All but one of Birmingham’s constituencies have declared Labour victories, a party not traditionally known for its strong support of the armed forces.
Harry’s relationship with Mercer was notable despite controversies. They shared a bond partly due to their experiences in Afghanistan, although Harry’s service was under the protection of British security, unlike Mercer’s frontline roles. Despite personal rapport, court documents revealed Harry’s characterization of Mercer as a “loose cannon” following Harry’s breach of confidentiality rules by sharing private information with Mercer, including details of a security claim against the Home Office.
Their camaraderie was evident when they were photographed together enjoying pints at the 2022 Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany. Mercer had been instrumental in the government’s efforts to host the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.
With Mercer’s electoral defeat, Harry faces the challenge of finding a new influential supporter within Parliament to advance his goals for the Invictus Games. This setback necessitates establishing new alliances and diligently navigating political dynamics to ensure the event’s success in the UK.
