Royal Ally Steps Away from Prince Harry as He Prepares for Upcoming Reunion with King Charles
Prince Harry's long-time confidant, Edward Lane Fox, has bid farewell to his roles with the Invictus Games and as the Duke of Sussex's private secretary. Lane Fox's departure, which occurred on February 28, 2022, was a significant blow to Prince Harry and marked a significant change in the royal circle.
Lane Fox, a former captain in the Household Cavalry, had been with Harry since day one, serving as his private secretary for five years. Known for his ability to bridge the gap between Harry and his father, King Charles, Lane Fox was often considered the last tie to Harry's royal life.
Another trustee, Patrick Nicoll, also parted ways with the Invictus Games on the same day as Lane Fox. Nicoll had been on the board since 2018.
The departure of these key figures from the Invictus Games, the charity founded by Prince Harry to support wounded servicemen and women, has not been publicly explained. However, a source close to the matter stated that Lane Fox "simply moved on" due to several behind-the-scenes matters.
Despite this development, the financial figures of the Invictus charity have seen a significant increase. The charity reported earnings of approximately £1.6million, a substantial boost compared to previous years.
Prince Harry himself returned to the UK on Monday to attend the WellChild Awards ceremony. However, he received bad news regarding a potential reunion with his father, King Charles. The details of this news are not yet known.
As of September 2025, no new private secretary has been publicly named to replace Lane Fox. Edward and Harry were reportedly close friends, and their departure from each other's lives marks a significant change in the Duke of Sussex's circle.
The Sussex Office has not made a statement regarding the abrupt departure of Edward Lane Fox. The Invictus Games, however, continues its mission to support wounded servicemen and women, carrying on the legacy that Lane Fox and Prince Harry helped to establish.
