Meghan Roars as Invictus Games Reject Her $600k Dress Request for Germany Closing Ceremony

Meghan Roars as Invictus Games Reject Her $600k Dress Request for Germany Closing Ceremony

In the wake of allegations surrounding the Sussexes and the misappropriation of funds from Invictus, a new twist has emerged in the form of an unconventional request. Meghan Markle reportedly sought a staggering $600,000 dress from the charity for her appearance at the closing ceremony in Germany, raising eyebrows and concerns among the organizers.

Invictus Games, however, refused Meghan's extravagant appeal, citing their commitment to fiscal responsibility. The charity was determined not to divert funds toward what they deemed a frivolous expense.

The dress in question holds historical significance, as it's reminiscent of Princess Diana's famous velvet gown. An auction of one of Diana's dresses, designed by Victor Edelstein in 1989, recently garnered substantial attention. Originally estimated to fetch around $80,000 to $120,000, it ultimately sold for an astounding $604,000 at Sotheby's. This velvet dress featured a tulip-shaped skirt and intricate gold buttons on the back, representing a piece of royal history.

Meghan Markle is known for her penchant for designer brands, expensive accessories, and jewelry worth thousands of pounds. Since relocating to California after stepping down from her royal role, Meghan's affinity for a lavish wardrobe has become even more pronounced.

Previously, while part of the royal family, the cost of Meghan's clothing for official engagements was covered by Prince Charles's budget from the Duchy of Cornwall. However, since expressing their desire for financial independence, it remains uncertain who is footing the bill for Meghan's attire or whether she receives designer discounts.

Despite ongoing controversies, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will make their first public appearance together since a paparazzi car chase in New York. They are scheduled to appear side by side at September's Invictus Games. Meghan will play a significant role, hosting the life story segment, which highlights the resilience and courage of injured servicemen and women who compete. The Duke will also deliver a closing speech, celebrating the competitors' unwavering spirit and remarkable recovery journeys.

The Invictus Games, commencing on September 9th, will mark the couple's first public appearance together since May 16th, when they attended an award ceremony in New York. A pre-recorded video appearance on the subject of cyberbullying was their only other joint appearance.

The closing ceremony in Dusseldorf, Germany, on September 6th, will feature prominent figures, including the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and singer Rita Ora. Steinmeier will emphasize the unifying power of the games and their principles of dignity, equality, and freedom for all, while Ora expressed her pride in performing for the inspirational athletes at the event.

Prince Harry has expressed excitement and nerves about this year's games, vowing to make them the best ever. The Invictus Games hold a special place for the Duke and Duchess, as it was at the 2017 Toronto games that they made their first public appearance together.
