In a surprising turn of events, Nick Booth has taken charge of the Invictus Games in Canada, putting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a challenging position.

This revelation comes at a time when the Invictus Games organization is already dealing with internal conflicts, and their response to Booth’s appointment has been nothing short of dramatic.

Booth, a trusted British aide who has been a part of Prince Harry’s inner circle for a long time, has been appointed as the interim CEO for the Vancouver and Whistler 2025 Invictus Games.

These games are particularly noteworthy as they will feature winter sports for the first time in the history of the competition.

What adds to the intrigue is that Booth’s appointment came just two weeks after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made an unannounced appearance in Vancouver, where they attended an ice hockey game with local dignitaries.

It’s hard to believe this is merely a coincidence.

The sudden departures of CEO Peter Lawless and Chief Commercial Officer Bill Cooper caused seismic waves within the Invictus Games organization.

Their exits were far from quiet farewells and left many within the Invictus community shocked and disheartened.

With the organization already facing challenges, Booth’s appointment as interim CEO has thrown another curveball into the mix, leaving staff even more demoralized.

For those unfamiliar with Booth, he has played a significant role in Prince Harry’s journey with the Invictus Games since its inception.

Now, Booth faces the daunting task of overseeing the 2025 Games with just over a year to go.

However, his appointment hasn’t provided the much-needed morale boost among Vancouver and Whistler staff, who are now grappling with rock-bottom morale, according to an insider.

Morale has sunk to an all-time low, worsened by the sudden departure of their beloved bosses.

Despite Booth’s past work with the Royal Foundation and his apparently close relationship with Prince Harry, his appointment hasn’t brought the much-needed optimism.

An insider reveals that Booth had to make a promise to the staff, one that likely left Prince Harry and Meghan Markle less than thrilled.

Booth committed to banning Meghan Markle from the 2025 Invictus Games event and urged Prince Harry to moderate his demands.

He pledged to negotiate terms that would appease both sides, and this written promise, signed by Booth, has been carefully stored by the Invictus Foundation.

It’s clear that while Prince Harry might make an appearance at the event, Meghan is most certainly not welcome.

This move undoubtedly left Prince Harry and Meghan Markle frustrated, as their close associate made a decision that directly contradicted their desires.

A spokesperson for the Invictus Games clarified that Booth had been advising the team ever since they secured the bid for the 2025 Games.

This transition, they claim, was designed to ensure continuity of vision without causing disruptions to the team’s ongoing efforts to bring the Games to fruition.

The entire team, they insist, is unwavering in its commitment to delivering a remarkable Games experience in February 2025, with plans to welcome up to 550 competitors from potentially 25 nations.

Meanwhile, in Canada, there is a growing movement to halt the upcoming Invictus Games.

Angela Leon, a prominent figure leading this pushback, claims to have spoken with individuals within the Canadian Invictus community who are eager to put an end to the event.

Their reasons are clear: the event has become overwhelmingly focused on Harry and Meghan, turning what should be a celebration of courage and determination into a platform for the Sussexes to hog the spotlight.

Leon’s criticism centers on the couple’s apparent need to make grand appearances before the world, demonstrating their supposed compassion while simultaneously patronizing participants.

She accuses them of invading the personal spaces of the competitors and manipulating the event to their advantage.

There seems to be a shift away from celebrating the achievements of the competitors, replaced by an overwhelming focus on the kind of wokeness that Meghan Markle champions.

Leon believes there is a glaring lack of respect for the participants themselves, as evidenced by Meghan’s audacious attempts to discuss her family and friends as if they have any relevance to the event.

Moreover, the idea of bringing their children to the Games has been suggested, despite having no legitimate right to be there.
