A spokesperson for Invictus backed this up, saying, “The event was shelved because the primary revenue generator was ticket sales from a live concert in Los Angeles in the spring of 2021. Given current circumstances with COVID, the event needed to be reconceptualized. This was an independent decision made prior to a partnership with Netflix. The duke remains committed as ever to the Invictus Games.”
This isn’t the first setback the Invictus Games Foundation has seen this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, Prince Harry announced that the Invictus Games, which were supposed to be held in May of this year, would be postponed until 2021. “This was an incredibly difficult decision for all of us to have to make,” he said in a YouTube video. “And I’m so grateful for everybody that’s worked so hard over the past couple of weeks to try to find any alternative to try and carry on these Games in a different way — in a safe way.”

The Daily Mail reported that the couple’s legal team said that the event was actually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The true position is that the format of the event was no longer viable in light of COVID-19,” said the lawyers. “These factors were separate to and independent of our client’s deal with Netflix.”
