### Meghan Markle Steals the Spotlight at Invictus Games Event in Vancouver

In a surprising twist that many have come to expect, took center stage at a private event for the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada, despite it being her husband 's moment to shine.

The audience, however, seemed less than impressed, responding to her speech with what could only be described as a collective shrug.

As geared up to celebrate the event, which honors military veterans, Meghan couldn't resist the allure of the microphone.

She made her grand entrance by planting a rather intimate kiss on Harry, setting the tone for what quickly evolved into a showcase for the Sussex brand rather than a tribute to the veterans present.

Once she had the mic in hand, Meghan began her speech with a line that felt all too familiar: “I was not planning on speaking tonight.” It was a classic move, one that suggested spontaneity but was likely rehearsed to perfection.

You could almost hear the eye rolls echoing through the room as she launched into her monologue.

Meghan proceeded to declare that stepping onto Canadian soil felt like returning home.

This claim raised eyebrows, especially given her past declarations about feeling at home in various locations, from the UK to Montecito and South Africa.

It seemed as though her affection for each place depended largely on where the cameras were focused.

While discussing the significance of the Invictus Games to Harry, she amusingly shifted the focus back to her family.

Meghan mentioned their children, and , cheering for their dad from California.

One couldn't help but wonder how two toddlers watching cartoons could possibly contribute to the spirit of the event dedicated to honoring wounded veterans.

Her comments about Harry's dedication as a father and his work with the Invictus Games felt somewhat misplaced.

She shared a story about questioning why his dad was always on the phone, painting a picture of Harry as a busy super dad.

But really, is organizing a major event best summed up as “Daddy is always on his phone”?

Not exactly inspiring.

Despite Meghan's attempts to make her speech about family and her husband's efforts, the audience's reaction was telling.

The applause was faint, signaling that her carefully crafted words didn't resonate as intended.

Royal expert Hugo Vickers noted that Meghan overshadowed Harry, likening the atmosphere to an Oscar ceremony where the spotlight was firmly on her.

Critics quickly pointed out that the welcome speech should have celebrated the athletes, not turned into a personal narrative about Meghan and her children.

The actual veterans, who were the true stars of the evening, received scant mention, making it feel more like a promotional opportunity for the Sussexes.

In the end, Meghan's address encapsulated her public persona: self-congratulatory, unnecessary, and lacking in genuine sincerity.

The Invictus Games are meant to honor the resilience of injured veterans, yet somehow, Meghan managed to redirect the focus onto herself.

With the audience's muted response, it became clear that they saw through the façade.

What was intended as a celebration of courage and recovery transformed into yet another chapter in the ongoing saga of the Duchess of Sussex, leaving many to wonder about the true purpose behind her words.
