Prince Harry Slammed As ‘Pathetic’ For ‘Upstaging’ Prince George’s Birthday Post With Invictus Announcement: ‘Gameplaying Yet Again’

Prince George turned 11 years old on July 22nd, which his parents proudly commemorated by sharing a brand new photo of him to social media. However, the future heir‘s birthday post wasn’t the only royal thing to make headlines that day, as Prince Harry also made his own announcement.

On that same day, the Duke of Sussex, 39, announced that he would be bringing the Invictus Games to the U.K. in 2027. Birmingham, to be exact. And while some people were thrilled that the games would be taking place in the U.K. for the first time since 2014, many others thought his announcement could have waited a few more days, as they felt it was a blatant attempt to overshadow Prince George’s big day.

The official @KensingtonRoyal X account shared a gorgeous black and white picture of Prince George looking dapper in a black suit with a white shirt on July 22nd, with the caption: “Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!” The account also credited the Prince and Princess of Wales for the photo, although it’s being reported that Kate Middleton is the one who took the picture.

“HB to a dashing young Prince!” exclaimed one royal fan in the comments. “And congrats to his mother for another fab photo,” they added. “What a handsome boy! Happy Birthday Prince George, have a brilliant day,” commented another fan, as a third added: “Oh my word, this handsome Prince. Lock up your daughters.”
