A debate has sparked among critics who believe that the involvement of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the Invictus Games has taken on a tone of royalty, raising legitimate concerns.

Initially praised for co-founding the Invictus Games back in 2014, the Duke of Sussex’s past accomplishments now seem overshadowed by recent events, as per insights shared by a royal expert through the Express.

Mark Dolan, the anchor at GB News, highlighted a significant exodus of around 2,000 former military personnel from the Games, citing a perceived dilution of its original essence due to the Duchess of Sussex’s active participation.

In a conversation with royal biographer Angela Levin, concerns were voiced by veterans who are calling for the Duke of Sussex to step down from his role within the Games.

Expressing her viewpoint on the matter, Levin remarked, “I think it’s gotten a little too regal,” alluding to the Duchess of Sussex’s involvement in leading a march alongside veterans who have endured various forms of trauma stemming from their military service.

The Duchess’s lack of formal training in marching has reportedly irked some veterans, raising questions about the authenticity of her contributions.

Despite acknowledging the Duke’s commendable interactions with veterans during her previous encounters, Levin conveyed mixed sentiments towards the former actress from ‘Suits’.

Recalling instances where the Duke engaged with residents, she commended his ability to instill a sense of purpose in them within mere minutes, showcasing his innate talent for connecting with people.

The dynamics within the Invictus Games seem to have shifted, with the spotlight now seemingly favoring the Duchess of Sussex over the Duke.

This shift has left some questioning the balance of power within the Games and whether the emphasis on the Duchess is overshadowing the Duke’s contributions and impact on participants.
