**Meghan Markle’s Role in Invictus Games Stripped Amid Controversy**
Reports have surfaced indicating that Meghan Markle's participation in the Invictus Games closing ceremony has been revoked by host Hadnet Tesfaye.
Sources reveal that Meghan will no longer be involved in the event after the German Ministry of Defense firmly rejected her spokesperson's request for her and Prince Harry to appear in a live interview scheduled for September 9.
According to German media, Meghan is reportedly displeased with this decision, and her spokesperson is actively advocating for her reinstatement.
Speculation has arisen regarding the logistical challenges involving helicopters needed for transportation, further fueling the controversy.
The Invictus Games spokesperson has confirmed to German media that Meghan will not be delivering a speech during the closing ceremony.
Initially, Meghan was set to play a significant role alongside presenter Hadnet Tesfaye in moderating the stories of war-disabled competitors and their families on the Invictus Games website.
However, recent developments indicate that this information has been removed from the site, suggesting that Hadnet Tesfaye will now take on this responsibility alone.
Critics have questioned Meghan Markle's suitability for the Invictus Games, alleging that she has primarily utilized veterans for self-promotion rather than actively supporting them.
There are notions that the Invictus Foundation may have reacted to public feedback and concerns regarding Harry and Meghan's involvement in the event.
Some even propose the removal of Prince Harry as their patron following his controversial remarks about British support for veterans returning from Afghanistan.
Meghan's exclusion from speaking or moderating roles could be attributed to the escalating disapproval and complaints against her.
Major sponsors such as Disney and Boeing reportedly threatened to withdraw funding or support if Meghan were to address the audience due to the negative associations linked with her.
Consequently, the organizers of the Invictus Games felt compelled to distance themselves from Meghan.
Speculations suggest that Meghan might have sought a prominent role at the Invictus Games to divert media attention from other significant events, including the one-year anniversary of the Queen's passing and Prince William's visit to New York City.
It is rumored that the organizers grew weary of Meghan's demands, leading to her removal from the event.
Anticipations of potential drama in Montecito arise as Harry's absence from the Invictus Games could prompt Meghan to express her dissatisfaction by opting out as well.
Observers point out the added intrigue brought by Rita Ora's involvement, as she has ties to Harry through charitable endeavors and has previously commented on Meghan and Harry.
Amidst these unfolding events, Meghan's conduct during the Netflix docuseries “Heart of Invictus” has garnered attention.
