Royal Couple Booed at Invictus Games Winter Training Camp

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle faced a less than warm welcome as they arrived at the Invictus Games 2025's winter training camp, where a large crowd had gathered.

The couple encountered a mixed reception, with around 100 people present to greet them.

However, instead of cheers, the couple were met with a chorus of boos from a significant portion of the crowd, making their arrival less than pleasant.

The audible disapproval must have been difficult for the Harkles to bear, especially considering their expectations of adoration from the Canadian public.

The scrutiny surrounding Harry and Meghan's involvement with the Invictus Games, a charitable organization dedicated to supporting injured veterans, has intensified.

Social media personality known as Royal News Network, Brittany, expressed her disappointment in a tweet, lamenting the transformation of the Invictus Games into a platform for the couple's self-promotion.

She emphasized the importance of shifting the focus back to the veterans themselves rather than the Sussexes, underscoring the original purpose of the event.

Army veteran Sabira Lone joined the chorus of criticism, announcing her decision to refrain from sharing Invictus-related content due to her disillusionment with the couple's apparent prioritization over the veterans.

She condemned what she perceived as Harry and Meghan seizing control of the event for personal gain, rather than genuinely supporting the veterans who are at the heart of the Invictus Games' mission.

Amidst the backlash, the royal couple made headlines with the launch of their new website, Sussex.com, where they revealed a significant change regarding their children's surname.

Arch and Lilibet will now be known by the surname Sussex, departing from the traditional Mountbatten-Windsor designation used for royal heirs since 1960.

The decision to rebrand their children and refer to them as Prince and Princess on the site raised eyebrows and invited criticism regarding their continued use of royal titles despite stepping back from official duties in 2020.

Critics took to social media to express their disapproval of the couple's actions, questioning their entitlement to royal privileges while distancing themselves from the monarchy.

Observers highlighted the irony of Harry and Meghan's association with the Sussex title and inclusion of a royal crest on Sussex.com, despite their strained relationship with the royal family.

The move was perceived as grandiose, arrogant, and self-serving, prompting calls for their removal from official royal platforms.

In response to the controversy surrounding their website, Meghan issued a statement through Article.com, the digital agency responsible for its design.

She praised the team at Article for their attention to detail, creativity, and collaborative approach, emphasizing their ability to translate ideas into visually appealing designs.

Meghan's endorsement of Article.com and its Canadian roots added another layer of intrigue to the unfolding narrative surrounding the royal couple's actions and decisions.
