Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, finds herself at the center of controversy, as allegations arise that her presence at the Invictus Games not only diverted attention from her husband, Prince Harry, but also from the veterans who are the heart of the event.
The Duchess made a fashionable entrance to the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany, arriving a day after Prince Harry had officially launched the event. Observers, including royal body language expert Jesus Enrique Rojas, have noted Meghan’s seeming dominance of the spotlight.
In an interview with GB News, Rojas remarked, “Meghan appeared to march in front of the veterans. It was shocking really. We can see Meghan stealing attention from the real protagonists of the Invictus Games.”
Rojas further expressed his views, stating, “She has the right to go to Dusseldorf, but featuring her so prominently is effectively diverting the spotlight from the games, which is a missed opportunity.”
These comments follow closely on the heels of speculation that Prince Harry was displeased with how his wife seemed to overshadow both him and the participants of the Invictus Games. Some reports suggest that the Duke of Sussex omitted mention of Meghan during his closing day speech at the event.
The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry in 2014, aim to celebrate and honor wounded, injured, and sick veterans and active-duty service members. It provides them with a platform to showcase their strength and resilience through sports. As the event continues, discussions surrounding Meghan Markle’s presence and her impact on the proceedings remain a topic of interest and debate.
