Megan Markle Stripped of Role in Invictus Games Closing Ceremony

The Duchess of Sussex, Megan Markle, has been removed from her role in the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games, according to recent reports.

Sources reveal that the German Ministry of Defence was adamant in their decision to decline Megan's spokesperson's insistence on her participation alongside in a live interview for German ZDF media on September 9th.

Despite this setback, Megan's spokesperson is persisting and making demands regarding transportation arrangements, including the need for helicopters.

Furthermore, it has been confirmed by an Invictus Games spokesperson that Megan will not be delivering a speech during the closing ceremony.

Initially, Megan was scheduled by the organizers to play a special role in the event, alongside presenter Hadnet Tesfaye.

Together, they were supposed to personally moderate the stories of war-disabled competitors and their families, as stated on the Invictus Games website.

However, this information has since been removed, and it appears that Hadnet Tesfaye will now take on this role alone.

Critics argue that Megan has no place at the Invictus Games, as she has not made any significant contributions to veterans other than using them for self-promotion.

It is speculated that the Invictus Foundation may have taken into account the public sentiment expressed through emails, calling for Harry and Megan's involvement to be reconsidered.

Some even suggest that Harry should be removed as their patron following his controversial speech on Heart of Invictus, where he accused the British people, media, and armed forces of not supporting veterans returning from Afghanistan.

The decision to remove Megan from speaking or moderating any part of the event could be attributed to the growing unpopularity surrounding her and the complaints raised against her.

Major sponsors such as Disney and Boeing have also threatened to withdraw funding or support if Megan were given a platform to speak, as they wish to distance themselves from her at this time.

It seems that there was no other option for the Invictus Games but to remove Megan from the event.

Speculation has arisen regarding Megan's motives for wanting to be prominently involved in the Invictus Games.

Some believe she aimed to compete with media stories surrounding the one-year anniversary of the Queen's death and 's visit to New York City.

Perhaps the organizers finally grew tired of her outrageous demands.

If she was indeed told to step down, it is expected that she will be furious.

Additionally, the plan to present an award to seems to have been abandoned, further adding to the drama surrounding the situation.

Interestingly, singer Rita Ora will be performing at the event, while Megan will not be present.

Rita has a history of performing at charitable functions associated with Prince Harry and has made intriguing comments about him and Megan in the past.

On the other hand, some argue that there has already been too much media coverage of Harry recently, including his polo playing, the Heart of Invictus documentary, and the upcoming events involving the royal family.

Therefore, it would be surprising if Megan does not make an appearance in some capacity.

In a related development, there are suggestions that Megan hinted at her future political career in the Netflix docuseries, Heart of Invictus.

In the third episode, she expressed her gratitude towards the participants of the Invictus Games with heartfelt words.

Body language expert Judy James believes that Megan's behavior indicates her aspirations to become a legislator.

As the saga unfolds, it remains to be seen how Megan will react to being excluded from the Invictus Games closing ceremony.

With Harry in Dusseldorf for the event, there may be significant drama in Montecito, where Megan currently resides.

It is uncertain whether she will attend the event at all or choose to withdraw in protest.
