Prince Harry’s Invictus Games has reportedly faced a major bump on the road after it emerged that two senior executives were dismissed from their positions for reasons unknown.
The next Invictus Games, set to be held in Canada in February 2025 was struck with bad luck after MailOnline revealed that its CEO Peter Lawless, who is described to be Canada’s highly backed Olympic and Paralympic administrator, was fired from his job in what the publication described to be an ‘abrupt’ move.
Responding to reports, an Invictus Games spokesperson declined the termination and insisted that Lawless was instead ‘transitioned out’ and that he was ‘no longer an employee’ but an ambassador.
