A recent letter written in German has shed light on the budget breakdown of the Dusseldorf Invictus Games, revealing some alarming figures.
The leaked document discloses that a staggering 24% of the Invictus budget in Dusseldorf was allocated to cover security, accommodation, and various side events related to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
In contrast, a mere 3% was designated for sporting equipment.
This revelation has sparked outrage among volunteers and employees of the Invictus Foundation, who are now demanding that expenses associated with the royal couple be removed amidst the growing turmoil.
The term “side events” mentioned in the letter seems to encompass a range of expenditures, including Harry and Meghan’s travel expenses, Megan’s clothing and jewelry, as well as their hotel and security costs.
These side events may also include activities such as Megan’s surprise visits to charities for PR purposes or even Harry’s birthday celebrations.
Critics argue that the Invictus Games, which were originally intended to empower wounded veterans through sports, have now become nothing more than a platform for Megan Markle’s fashion show.
What is truly astounding is the fact that the Invictus budget has ballooned to approximately 40 million.
The question remains: who is responsible for this substantial increase?
It is disconcerting to note that a quarter of this budget potentially went directly to the Harkles, as the couple is sometimes referred to.
The possibility of Harry and Meghan treating charity funds like a personal piggy bank is becoming increasingly plausible.
It is no wonder that top executives have distanced themselves from this alleged grift.
One can only imagine the impact this could have had on the veterans who rely on the support provided by the Invictus Foundation.
To make matters worse, it has been revealed that no security was provided for the veterans, and participants and their families were left to cover their own accommodation expenses.
This revelation has left many questioning the priorities of the Invictus Games and calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
They argue that the focus should be on addressing these serious issues rather than being distracted by trivial stories such as birthday calls and fake Christmas invitations, which they believe are being orchestrated by the Harkles’ paid PR team to divert attention from the ongoing drama and debacles surrounding the Invictus Games.
The outcry on social media has been significant, with many Invictus fans and veterans expressing their disappointment and frustration.
One individual pointed out that it is evident that executives either quit or were fired due to the Games exceeding their budget, while the real culprits, in their opinion, are Harry and Meghan, who they accuse of exploiting funds meant for struggling veterans.
Another commenter questioned how it is possible to accumulate a bill of over 40 million for what is essentially a relatively small event.
They even suggested starting a true crime podcast to delve further into this matter.
Yet another individual raised suspicions about the sudden departure of the two Invictus executives, speculating that they may have voiced concerns about the excessive expenses, only to be dismissed by Harry.
