A spokesperson for the Games said, The ceremony will mark a decade of changing lives and saving lives through sport.

News of Harrys visit comes two days after it was confirmed by Buckingham Palace that King Charles will begin resuming public engagements next week, after he has made sufficient progress in his cancer treatment.

While his cancer has not been specified, the Palace statement added that doctors were very encouraged by the progress made so far and remain positive about the Kings continued recovery.

There has been no public update on the health of Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, since she disclosed last month that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy following abdominal surgery.

In a statement released in March, Catherine said the diagnosis was a huge shock after an incredibly tough couple of months.

This week, the Palace said King Charles was so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking about her treatment, and had remained in close contact with his beloved daughter-in-law.
