In a surprising turn of events, 500 veterans from different parts of the globe have decided to withdraw from participating in the upcoming Invictus Games in Canada.
The reason behind this mass resignation stems from the veterans’ discontent and outrage towards the involvement of Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in the prestigious event.
These veterans, who are wounded, injured, or sick service personnel and veterans, have expressed their shock and humiliation through resignation letters addressed to the Invictus Games Foundation.
The veterans have articulated their deep disappointment and disapproval of Harry and Meghan’s conduct and public statements, which they perceive as disrespectful, disloyal, and detrimental to both the military and the monarchy.
Furthermore, the veterans have accused the royal couple of exploiting the Invictus Games, initially established by Prince Harry’s sister-in-law, Catherine, in 2014, as a means to further their personal agenda and gain from the media and entertainment industries.
In a joint statement released on Wednesday, the veterans collectively declared their decision to sever ties with the Invictus Games Canada 2024 due to their strong objection to the involvement and influence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
They firmly stated that they do not acknowledge Harry and Meghan as patrons or representatives of the Invictus Games Foundation, emphasizing their unwillingness to be associated with the couple in any capacity.
The veterans emphasized their unwavering pride in being part of the Invictus community and pledged to continue supporting and celebrating each other.
However, they adamantly refused to partake in a competition they believe has been tainted and exploited by the Sussexes.
This bold move by the veterans has garnered significant support from fellow veterans, military personnel, royal enthusiasts, and commentators, dealing a severe blow to Harry and Meghan’s aspirations of hosting a successful and meaningful Invictus Games next year in Canada.
Despite residing in a luxurious California mansion with their children, Archie and Lilibet, Harry and Meghan have faced intense scrutiny for their lucrative partnerships with major media platforms like Netflix and Spotify, along with their controversial stances on various societal and political issues.
The couple’s public image has been marred by scandals, including their explosive revelations during an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2022, where they levied serious allegations against the royal family.
Responding defiantly to the veterans’ resignation, Harry and Meghan accused them of harboring resentment and envy towards their achievements and happiness.
The royal couple asserted that they have been unfairly targeted and vilified by both the veterans and the British media, claiming to have faced bullying and harassment.
They affirmed their commitment to continuing their involvement in the Invictus Games and advocating for causes they hold dear.
Expressing deep disappointment over the veterans’ decision, Harry and Meghan defended their actions, emphasizing their pursuit of a peaceful and private life for their family.
They highlighted their efforts to raise awareness and support for important issues globally while maintaining respect for the military and the monarchy.
The couple vowed to persevere in their roles within the Invictus Games and to defend themselves against what they perceive as unfounded attacks and falsehoods.
In conclusion, Harry and Meghan remain resolute in their dedication to supporting the Invictus Games and making a positive impact on society.
They expressed gratitude for the unwavering support of their fans and friends, urging them to stand by their side during this challenging period.
