Story summary

Amazon is reportedly set to sponsor Prince Harry's Invictus Games Birmingham 2027, a multi-sport event for wounded military veterans. The Invictus Games, first held in 2014, will take place from July 10 to July 17, 2027, and is expected to welcome 550 participants from 25 nations competing in 12 adaptive sports. Prince Harry founded the competition, which needs a £20 million cash injection to cover costs. Amazon's involvement would rival Netflix, which previously produced lifestyle shows about the Sussexes. This sponsorship could alleviate financial pressure on the event after aircraft manufacturer Boeing withdrew its support.
