In a surprising turn of events, singer Rita Ora has reportedly asked the Invictus Games to ban Meghan from performing at the closing ceremony due to their past feud.

This request has caused Prince Harry, the event’s founder and a close friend of Ora, some embarrassment.

However, after careful consideration, Harry has ultimately approved the condition set by Ora.

Prince Harry himself recently marked the one-month countdown to the forthcoming Invictus Games in Germany through a video shared on social media.

The video, initially posted by Invictus Games Nigeria and later re-shared by the Invictus Games Foundation, features Harry casually speaking in front of a bookshelf.

Expressing his excitement for the upcoming games, he promises that the 2023 tournament will be the best one yet.

Meanwhile, it was announced that Rita Ora will be headlining the Invictus closing ceremony on September 16th.

As a close friend of Prince Harry, she is expected to deliver an emotional speech during the event.

However, her performance comes with one condition – she does not want Meghan to be present.

According to a celebrity friend of Ora, the singer holds a grudge against Meghan due to what she perceives as diva behavior.

This animosity dates back to a public mocking of Meghan Markle by Ora before her royal wedding with Prince Harry.

Ora has never shied away from expressing her admiration for Harry, even questioning the authenticity of his relationship with Meghan.

During an appearance on the Wendy Williams show in December 2016, Ora openly voiced her doubts about the couple’s love, believing that something was amiss between them.

She also expressed skepticism about Meghan’s suitability as a future Duchess of Sussex, claiming she couldn’t envision her walking down the aisle.

Rita Ora’s recent involvement with the Invictus Games was announced on the event’s Twitter page.

The post revealed that Ora would be performing at the highly anticipated closing ceremony, scheduled to take place at the iconic Mercerspiel Arena on September 16th at 8 pm.

In a statement, Ora expressed her pride in participating in the event and her excitement to perform in front of such a unique audience.

She acknowledged the inspiring perseverance and willpower displayed by the competitors, considering them an inspiration to all.

Ora and Prince Harry have been friends for years, with the pop star even attending Harry’s wedding in 2018.

In a 2019 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ora described him as the “cool fun prince” and mentioned how she and her friends had always dreamt of hanging out with him.

However, she also expressed her belief that Meghan Markle had changed Harry, causing him to develop bad manners.

It is evident that there is tension between Rita Ora and Meghan Markle, leading to Ora’s request for Meghan’s exclusion from the Invictus Games performance.

As the event draws nearer, it remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and whether Meghan’s presence will ultimately be affected.
