Big moves behind the scenes! π According to reports, Amazon is close to finalising a big-money sponsorship for Prince Harry’s Invictus Games Birmingham 2027 β and it could lead to something even bigger. π¬π
Here’s what we know: after former sponsor Boeing pulled out, organisers were reportedly facing a funding gap of around Β£20 million to stage the Games, set for July 10β17 in Birmingham. Now, sources tell The Sun that Amazon has agreed sponsorship terms β a deal one insider called “a shot in the arm for Invictus and Harry.”
But there’s a catch: Amazon reportedly wants Meghan Markle to appear at the Games alongside Harry, as her presence is seen as a major global draw. And here’s the twist β Amazon’s Prime Video is Netflix’s biggest rival… the same Netflix that screened the Sussexes’ lifestyle shows and Invictus docuseries. Sources say it shows Harry and Meghan “moving in a different direction with a new partner.”
Could there be more? Harry has separately explored ideas for a documentary about his mother, Princess Diana β and a closer Amazon relationship could potentially bring that project nearer to Prime Video. β οΈ For now, any Diana project remains separate and unconfirmed, with discussions reportedly still at an early stage. ποΈ
And the royal streaming race doesn’t stop there: Prince William’s Earthshot Prize Awards will stream on Prime Video for the first time this November in Mumbai!
