The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has stirred up controversy and sparked outrage among Canadian authorities and veterans with her unreasonable requests for her upcoming visit to the Invictus Games celebration in Vancouver.
This will be her first return to Canada since she and Prince Harry left the royal family in 2020.
The couple is scheduled to attend the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025’s One Year to Go event from February 14 to February 16, where they will join the participating nation’s winter training camp.
However, instead of showing gratitude and respect for the host country and the wounded warriors, Meghan reportedly sent a lengthy and demanding email to the Canadian organizers, leaving them stunned and offended.
In her email, she requested a private jet paid for by the Canadian government to fly her and Harry from Los Angeles to Vancouver and back.
She also asked for a luxury suite at the Fairmont Hotel, complete with a personal chef, spa, and gym.
Additionally, she demanded a security detail of 20 officers, including snipers and bomb disposal experts, a limousine service, VIP access to the city’s best establishments, a personal stylist, hairdresser, and makeup artist, a media team to ensure positive coverage for her and Harry, and a donation of $1 million to their Archwell Foundation.
The audacity and entitlement displayed in Meghan’s email were met with shock and disappointment.
A source revealed that she acted like a spoiled diva, showing no regard for Canadian taxpayers, the Invictus Games Foundation, or the veterans who have made great sacrifices for their countries.
Canadian authorities and the Invictus Games organizers refused to comply with her demands, stating that she and Harry would be treated the same as other guests and dignitaries, without any special treatment or funding.
Meghan’s response to their refusal was one of fury and insult.
She accused the Canadians of being rude and ungrateful, threatening to cancel the trip and boycott the event unless her demands were met.
Prince Harry, the founder of the Invictus Games, was embarrassed and disappointed by Meghan’s behavior.
He attempted to calm her down and apologize to the Canadians, expressing his eagerness to attend the event, which holds great personal significance for him.
He hoped to resolve the issue amicably.
The trip to Canada was meant to be a positive and meaningful occasion, celebrating the achievements and resilience of the Invictus Games community while marking the countdown to the next event in 2025.
However, Meghan’s unreasonable and greedy demands have turned it into a negative and controversial situation, sparking fury and backlash not only in Canada but also beyond.
Despite the tension, Canadian authorities and the Invictus Games organizers are still hopeful that Meghan and Harry will attend the event.
However, they remain firm in their decision not to give in to her demands.
They expect the couple to behave with dignity and respect, focusing on the veterans and their stories rather than themselves and their image.
It is crucial for Meghan to realize that she is no longer a royal and cannot act as if she were a queen.
She needs to respect the values and spirit of the Invictus Games, which revolve around service, sacrifice, and solidarity, rather than fame, fortune, and glamour.
It is time for her to set aside her ego and personal agenda, supporting Harry and the veterans who have given so much for their countries.
