Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to travel to Germany in September to attend the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf.
The highly anticipated event, which will run from September 9th to the 16th, was founded by Prince Harry and showcases the incredible achievements of injured ex-service people in various sports competitions.
According to German newspaper Reich Post, Meghan will play a significant role in the farewell show for families and competitors on the final day of the games.
Her involvement is expected to evoke deep emotions among the attendees.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry will deliver the closing speech, marking the culmination of a week filled with inspiring displays of resilience and determination.
However, not everyone is thrilled about Prince Harry’s participation in the Invictus Games.
In a thought-provoking video on YouTube, Trevor Colt, a former British Army member, revealed that some veterans and others have expressed concerns about his involvement.
They believe that if they distance themselves from Prince Harry, it could spell trouble for his future endeavors.
Additionally, Trevor mentioned that the Harkles, as they are sometimes referred to, have not made any financial contributions to support the Invictus Games.
This has raised questions about their commitment to the cause.
Critics have also pointed out that despite their significant wealth, the couple has not donated the rumored $3 million from their upcoming movie to the Invictus Games.
Furthermore, Archwell, the charitable foundation established by Prince Harry and Meghan, reportedly had approximately $10 million in donations remaining at the end of 2020.
It begs the question of why they haven’t directed some of these funds towards Prince Harry’s beloved Invictus Project.
The backlash against the couple has extended beyond online discussions.
One royal fan took it upon themselves to write a letter to Invictus, questioning Prince Harry’s contributions to veteran charities and expressing concerns about his and Meghan’s involvement in the Games.
The fan suggested that elevating a winner from a previous year as the face of Invictus for subsequent events might be a more appropriate choice.
The negative sentiment towards Meghan attending the Invictus Games has also been evident on social media platforms.
One user on Twitter criticized her, claiming that the Games are not about her but rather about the veterans and the charity that Prince Harry initiated.
Another user expressed disappointment, stating that the focus should be on the wounded veterans and their remarkable journeys, rather than on Harry and Meghan’s personal agenda.
With the Invictus Games just around the corner, opinions remain divided.
While some anticipate a warm reception for Prince Harry and Meghan, others predict that they may face boos and jeers from certain sections of the audience.
As the Games draw nearer, it remains to be seen how the couple’s presence will impact the event and its noble cause.
