New reports have emerged stating that Megan Markle has been removed from her role in the Invictus Games’ closing ceremony.
Sources reveal that the German Ministry of Defence firmly declined Megan’s spokesperson’s insistence on her participation, alongside Prince Harry, in a live interview for German ZDF media on September 9th.
Despite this rejection, Megan’s spokesperson is persisting and making demands regarding the helicopters required for their transport.
Furthermore, it has been confirmed by an Invictus Games spokesman to German media that Megan will not be delivering a speech during the closing ceremony.
Initially, Megan was scheduled by the organizers to play a special role in the event.
Alongside presenter Hadnet Tesfaye, she was supposed to personally moderate the stories of war-disabled competitors and their families, as stated on the Invictus Games website.
However, this information is no longer available on the site, and it appears that Hadnet Tesfaye will now take on this role alone.
Critics argue that Megan has no rightful place at the Invictus Games, claiming that she has never done anything significant for veterans aside from using them for self-promotion.
It is speculated that the Invictus Foundation may have listened to the concerns raised by individuals who emailed them regarding Harry and Megan’s involvement.
Consequently, there are calls for Harry to be removed as their patron following his controversial speech on Heart of Invictus, where he allegedly criticized the British people, media, and armed forces for their lack of support for veterans returning from Afghanistan.
It seems that Megan’s removal from speaking or moderating duties may be a result of her growing unpopularity and the complaints against her.
Major sponsors such as Disney and Boeing have also threatened to withdraw funding or support for the games if Megan were to deliver a speech, as they do not wish to be associated with her at this time.
Consequently, it appears that there was no other option for the Invictus Games organizers but to distance themselves from Megan.
Speculation has arisen suggesting that Megan’s desire to be front and center at the Invictus Games may have been an attempt to overshadow media coverage of the one-year anniversary of the Queen’s death and Prince William’s visit to New York City.
Perhaps the organizers finally grew tired of Megan’s outrageous demands.
If she was indeed told to step down, it is expected that she will be furious.
Additionally, it remains unclear what will happen regarding her planned presentation of an award to Harry, as this seems to have fallen by the wayside.
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that singer Rita Ora will be performing at the event, despite Megan’s absence.
Rita has a history of involvement in charitable functions associated with Prince Harry and has made interesting comments about Megan and Harry in the past.
On another note, some individuals believe that Megan will not be able to resist making an appearance, considering the recent media attention surrounding Harry, including his polo playing, the Heart of Invictus documentary, and the upcoming events involving the royal family.
In a separate development, the International News reported that Megan may have hinted at her future political career in the Netflix docuseries, Heart of Invictus.
In the third episode, Megan expressed her gratitude for the participants of the Invictus Games, using what body language expert Judy James interprets as an indication of her aspirations to become a legislator.
As the Invictus Games draw closer, the removal of Megan Markle from her role in the closing ceremony has sparked curiosity and speculation.
It remains to be seen how this decision will impact her relationship with the event and whether she will make any further appearances.
