Meghan Markle once again finds herself at the center of controversy, as she and Prince Harry attended the highly anticipated 2022 Invictus Games in The Hague, Netherlands.
This event, which was founded by Prince Harry in 2014, holds a special place in the couple’s hearts.
It was at the Games in 2017 where they made their first public appearance together, with Meghan making a lasting impression in her distressed denim and white button-up shirt by Paul Meeschan.
Now, five years later, Meghan is showcasing her post-Royal style at the same prestigious sporting event.
However, her wardrobe choices for each appearance at the Invictus Games are raising eyebrows due to their exorbitant cost.
It has been revealed that Meghan rented clothes from luxury brands such as Céline, Aquisera, Cartier, Manolo Blahnik, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino, with the promise to return them.
However, it seems that Meghan had other plans, as she allegedly kept the expensive outfits without paying for them.
It is estimated that Meghan’s wardrobe for the three-day event amounted to a staggering £38,000.
This is not the first time she has displayed such extravagant spending at the Invictus Games.
During the 2018 Games in Sydney, Meghan’s wardrobe also garnered attention for its high price tag.
It appears that Meghan’s desire to make a statement with her fashion choices outweighs any concern for the cost.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were captured in a surprise appearance in a promotional video for the upcoming Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, set to take place in September 2023.
The video, shared by the Invictus Games social media team on Twitter, features athletes who will be competing in the event.
The presence of Meghan and Harry in the video undoubtedly adds to the anticipation surrounding the Games.
While the Invictus Games is a noble cause, it seems that Meghan’s focus remains on herself rather than the athletes.
Her constant need for attention and extravagant displays of wealth overshadow the true purpose of the event.
Meghan and Harry have positioned themselves as a billion-dollar brand, yet they have failed to fully utilize their platform to support charitable causes or shed light on the stories of Invictus athletes.
Instead of using their influence to promote American charities or highlight the work of Invictus athletes, the couple has seemingly squandered opportunities for meaningful engagement.
It has even been reported that Meghan owes Netflix a substantial sum of £540,000 for designer clothes she purchased for the upcoming Invictus Games.
This revelation has led to Netflix editing Meghan out of their program, leaving her with a hefty bill to pay.
The controversy surrounding Meghan’s wardrobe choices and alleged unpaid debts raises questions about her integrity and priorities.
Many argue that stealing from wounded soldiers is a disgraceful act, especially for someone who was not even expected or invited to the event.
Some suggest that Meghan should reconsider her actions and perhaps return to a previous career that provided honest work and financial success.
As the Invictus Games unfold, it remains to be seen how Meghan and Harry’s presence will be received by the military community.
While the couple may have positioned themselves as champions of charitable causes, their actions at the Games have left a sour taste in the mouths of many retired military personnel.
The respect and honor that soldiers hold for their fellow servicemen and women may not extend to this couple, who seem more focused on their own image and self-promotion than on the true spirit of the Invictus Games.
