Dusseldorf officials have declined Meghan’s red carpet request for the upcoming Invictus Games 2023 amidst widespread protests by thousands of Germans.

The controversy stems from Meghan Markle’s involvement in a promotional video for the event last year, where she engaged in a friendly game of ping pong with Prince Harry.

A spokesperson for the royal couple has now confirmed that Meghan will be accompanying her husband to the Games in Germany, scheduled to take place from September 9th to September 16th.

Meghan is slated to deliver a personal message to the veterans participating in the Invictus Games during the closing ceremony.

However, her selection as a speaker has sparked criticism among the German populace, who question her suitability for addressing themes of courage and resilience.

Many have taken to social media platforms, particularly Twitter, to express their reservations about the extravagant treatment accorded to Harry and Meghan during their visit.

The public outcry revolves around the perception that the couple, who have stepped back from their royal duties, should not be given special privileges akin to heads of state.

Meghan’s request for VIP treatment, including top-tier accommodation, security personnel, and gourmet chefs, has been met with disapproval from numerous German social media users.

They argue that the resources allocated for such luxuries could be better utilized to support the veterans participating in the Games.

Protests have escalated outside the town hall, with hundreds of individuals voicing their discontent at the perceived extravagance surrounding Meghan and Harry’s visit.

Criticisms have also emerged regarding the couple’s commercial ventures, particularly their partnership with Netflix.

The upcoming documentary, “Heart of Invictus,” set to premiere in late August 2023, has been met with skepticism by royal commentators and experts.

Richard Fitzwilliams, a renowned royal commentator, expressed doubts about the documentary’s potential success, citing the couple’s previous ventures’ lukewarm reception.

Despite their past successes on Netflix, the couple faces challenges in striking the right balance between engaging content and avoiding controversies surrounding the royal family.

The need to appeal to a broad audience while maintaining authenticity remains a significant hurdle for Harry and Meghan as they navigate their post-royal endeavors.
