The CEO of the Invictus Games stirs controversy with unexpected alterations, prompting questions about the extent of royal influence.
Despite being established by the Duke of Sussex in 2014 to empower wounded servicemen and women, recent developments suggest a potential scaling back of Prince Harry's role.
Royal author Angela Levin voices concerns on GBN America, suggesting that the event has become excessively "royal" with the prominent presence of Harry and Meghan Markle. Levin speculates that the appointment of Mike Tindall, married to King Charles' niece, as a patron, might signal a shift away from Harry's central position.
Criticism mounts against Meghan Markle's involvement, particularly her ceremonial duties, including leading a march with ex-military individuals. Levin highlights instances where Meghan's participation appeared incongruous, questioning her suitability for such roles.
As preparations for the 10th Anniversary Service unfold, uncertainty looms over Harry's attendance, amidst reports of security apprehensions. Suggestions arise that he might opt for a virtual appearance following legal disputes over police protection, which concluded unfavorably for him in February.
Despite challenges, Harry remains dedicated to the Invictus Games and its participants, reflecting his ongoing commitment to the cause he initiated in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence.
