Royal news live: Prince Harry suffers Invictus blow as it emerges Trump gunman researched royal family member
The Duke of Sussex controversially accepted the Pat Tillman Award last week.

Prince Harry has suffered a fresh Invictus Games blow in the wake of the Pat Tillman Award controversy after its foundation’s chief executive announced his departure.

Dominic Reid, who has been credited with helping the foundation’s growth globally, stepped down from Invictus after 10 years and six games across three continents.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, subsequently paid tribute to Reid, who has occupied the role since the games began in 2014.

Harry said in a statement: “His tireless efforts over the past decade have supported thousands of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans through sports rehabilitation.”

Meanwhile, the gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump searched online for a member of the Royal family days before his attempt on the former president’s life, FBI investigators have said.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was killed after opening fire on the former president on Saturday at a rally in Pennsylvania.

His electronic devices were subsequently seized and revealed that he had Google searched several public figures leading up to the incident, including Christopher Wray, the FBI director.
