According to insiders, Meghan's demands leave no detail unattended. Her meal plans and snack choices have been intricately planned, and she has specific requests for air temperature settings, linens, and decor in the hotel.
Additionally, Meghan insists on chauffeur-driven limousines for transportation. There is also an ongoing debate between Meghan and Prince Harry about whether to opt for private or commercial air travel.
These revelations have not gone unnoticed on social media platforms, where reactions have been mixed. Twitter users have made wry comments about Meghan's temperature preferences, particularly given her penchant for wearing cashmere coats and large scarves even in warm weather. Others have questioned the financing of these demands, especially considering the charitable nature of the event.
Critics argue that Meghan's demands clash with the image of humility and approachability that her PR team has sought to cultivate. Some even speculate that she might no longer be invited to the event and is using these demands as an exit strategy.
Meghan's extravagant fashion choices during previous Invictus Games events have also come under scrutiny, especially given the financial struggles many veterans face. While veterans grapple with financial hardships, Meghan has been seen wearing expensive jewelry and outfits, including a $35,000 necklace and $10,000 outfits. Her jewelry collection, which includes a pair of earrings valued at $440,000, has triggered outrage.
Despite the controversies surrounding her demands and fashion choices, Meghan Markle is set to deliver a message of courage and resilience at the Invictus Games—an irony that has not been lost on some observers. Meghan's participation in the event holds significance for both her and Prince Harry, as they have attended previous Invictus Games events together and have made significant announcements during past tournaments.
