Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently made their first trip together since stepping down as senior members of the Royal Family, attending the 2022 Invictus Games in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Invictus Games, founded by Harry in 2014, holds a special place in their hearts, as it is dedicated to wounded, injured, and sick service members.
The couple’s first public appearance together was at the Games in 2017, where Markle made a memorable fashion statement in distressed denim and a white button-up shirt by her friend Misha Nonoo.
Now, five years later, Meghan is once again showcasing her post-Royal style at the same event.
However, it seems that Meghan’s wardrobe choices for the Invictus Games have come at a cost.
Luxury brands such as Aquazura, Cartier, Celine, Manolo Blahnik, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino have all cut ties with her, as she allegedly owes them a significant amount of money.
It is believed that she used funds from Netflix and veteran organizations for the Heart of Invictus movie project, but apparently, that wasn’t enough.
She is accused of using the Invictus name to debit from these brands.
This information was disclosed by several Netflix employees.
The 2022 Invictus Games also became a platform for what some are calling the “Hank and Skank show.”
Meghan’s extravagant wardrobe, costing a staggering £38,000 for just three days, drew attention and raised eyebrows.
It is reported that she took the stage to thank Harry for something, a move reminiscent of her behavior at the 2018 Games in Sydney.
Critics have labeled her an attention seeker.
In a surprise appearance, Meghan Markle joined Prince Harry in a friendly game of table tennis, as seen in a trailer for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The video, shared on the Invictus Games’ social media platforms, features athletes who will be participating in the event scheduled for September 2023 in Dusseldorf.
The promotion of tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies prompted the sharing of the video on Twitter, where it gained attention from Finding Freedom co-writer Omid Scobie.
While the stage is set for the Sussexes’ appearance at the Invictus Games, there are concerns about Meghan’s intentions.
Some believe that her presence is solely for self-promotion, as the event itself may not attract a large viewership.
Meghan has struggled to shift the focus away from herself and onto the athletes.
It seems she had hoped that she and Harry would become a billion-dollar brand.
However, their attempts to capitalize on their fame and influence have fallen short.
Suggestions for them to engage in charitable endeavors without using them for virtue signaling, such as documentaries, podcasts, and books, have been met with disappointment.
In other news, Megyn Kelly, a Sky News contributor, has criticized Meghan Markle, calling her “pathetic” after Spotify canceled the second season of her Archetypes podcast.
Kelly expressed disbelief that Meghan couldn’t even complete 12 episodes without complaining.
She stated that she could accomplish that in just two weeks.
Kelly also accused Meghan of committing fraud, claiming that she was artificial, over the top, and not a good host for her own podcast.
As Meghan Markle continues to make headlines with her fashion choices and public appearances, it remains to be seen how she will navigate the challenges and criticisms that come her way.
The Invictus Games, originally intended to highlight the achievements of wounded service members, have inadvertently become a platform for discussions surrounding Meghan’s actions and intentions.
