Members of the Invictus UK team will wear shirts with the logo of BAE Systems for the first time when they compete at trials in Sheffield later this month after the company paid a six-figure sum.

The arms manufacturer has sold billions of pounds of weaponry around the world, including to Saudi Arabia for its war in Yemen, which began in 2015. Since then, many thousands of civilians have been killed or maimed amid allegations of war crimes…..

…..Last month Prince Harry spoke of the need to remove the scourge of landmines.
‘If he wants to promote peace then he should consider how he feels about the involvement of the UK’s biggest arms companies in an event like this.

‘It would very hard to think of a less appropriate partner than BAE Systems – it is akin to having a cigarette company sponsoring Cancer Research or having Dracula sponsor a blood bank.’]

Thank God for William and Kate, the really decent Royals with morals and integrity.
