If not Archie and Lilibet will not be able to experience an Invictus Games for another four years.
The host nation has not yet been chosen for the 2029 games.
Birmingham was picked ahead of Washington DC in the United States as the host for the 2027 Invictus Games.
Whether Prince Harry feels comfortable bringing Archie and Lilibet to the UK in 2027 may hinge on the outcome of his upcoming appeal.

The Duke of Sussex is set to appeal a High Court ruling that upheld the Home Office’s decision to reduce his security protection in the UK following his departure from royal duties in 2020.
Prince Harry and his family no longer receive the same level of police protection automatically granted to the Royal Family following the Sussexes’ decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to the United States.
Harry previously contested a 2020 decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, claiming he was singled out.
The High Court ruled in March that the decision was neither irrational nor unfair, with the Home Office welcoming the finding, but in June, Judge David Bean granted Harry permission to appeal the ruling, stating “not without hesitation” that his challenge had a real prospect of success.
