The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, who recently concluded the Invictus Games in Germany with pride, is now grappling with a major blow for the upcoming event.
Reports reveal that the next Invictus Games, scheduled for February 2025 in Canada, has encountered a setback with the unexpected dismissal of two senior executives. MailOnline disclosed that CEO Peter Lawless, a highly supported Olympic and Paralympic administrator in Canada, faced an 'abrupt' termination from his role.
Contrary to reports, an Invictus Games spokesperson denied the termination, stating that Lawless was 'transitioned out' and is now an ambassador rather than an employee. The second departure is Bill Cooper, the Chief Commercial Officer.
Cooper acknowledged his exit, expressing gratitude to colleagues. However, reports suggest that colleagues are concerned about the impact of these departures on the event, fearing that it might overshadow the incredible initiative for veterans.
