Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself at the center of controversy once again, this time for her extravagant demands ahead of the Invictus Games in Germany.
According to Heat News, Meghan has stipulated several requirements for her stay in a Dusseldorf hotel next month, some of which have sparked fury among royal fans.
An insider revealed that Meghan’s demands for her visit are on par with A-list celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Cher.
From meticulously planned meals and snacks to specific air temperatures and particular linens and decor for the hotel, Meghan has left no stone unturned.
She also insists on being chauffeur-driven in limos everywhere she goes, and there is still an ongoing debate about whether she and Prince Harry will fly private.
These outrageous demands have not gone unnoticed by the public.
Social media user AtStoriesByJamae tweeted, questioning the specified room temperature requirement and jokingly suggesting that Meghan may be unable to handle the cold like a lizard.
Others, like AtMystify, expressed their concerns about who is footing the bill for these perks and criticized Meghan for making demands of a charity event like the Invictus Games.
Criticism has also been directed towards Meghan’s extravagant fashion choices during previous Invictus Games.
While many veterans struggle financially, Meghan has been seen wearing expensive jewelry and outfits, including a necklace worth $35,000 and outfits totaling $10,000.
Her jewelry collection, which includes a pair of earrings valued at $440,000, has sparked outrage among some.
German newspaper ReinschPost confirmed Meghan’s attendance at this year’s Invictus Games, where injured veterans and serving military personnel come together for an annual tournament.
Prince Harry, who founded the event in 2014 after his own 10-year service in the British Army, will be giving a speech, while Meghan will be moderating the closing ceremony.
However, it remains uncertain if their children, Archie and Lilibet, will be joining them on this trip.
Insiders claim that this appearance at the Invictus Games is significant for both Meghan and Harry.
The couple has attended the event together in the past, including last year’s games in The Hague and the 2017 games in Toronto, where they made their public debut as a couple.
In 2018, Meghan announced her first pregnancy during the event in Sydney.
Adding to the controversy, royal biographer Angela Levin believes that Meghan’s upcoming message of courage and resilience at the Invictus Games is ironic.
This statement has further fueled the debate surrounding Meghan’s actions and intentions.
As the countdown to the Invictus Games begins, the focus is not only on the athletes but also on Meghan Markle and her demands.
Whether she will be welcomed with open arms or face further criticism remains to be seen.
One thing is certain, though – Meghan’s presence at the games is bound to be a topic of discussion among fans and critics alike.
