The footage, shared by Invictus Games guest Sarah House, showed Meghan kneeling down to greet the young girl, who, instead of engaging with Meghan, promptly ran off without acknowledging her. Despite this, Meghan remained composed and continued warmly welcoming other well-wishers.
While Meghan and Harry engaged with Nato leaders, Prince William was preparing for his own trip to New York, where he was scheduled to meet with United Nations leaders and launch his Earthshot Prize initiative.
Amidst all the royal activities, some veterans expressed feeling caught in the midst of the ongoing tensions between Harry and the rest of the Royal family.
During their time at the Invictus Games, the Duke and Duchess were seen mingling with Italian and Dutch armed forces, maintaining smiles throughout.
Notably, Meghan had faced criticism for what some perceived as an attempt to upstage Prince Harry during the event. On GB News, Andrew Pierce accused her of trying to steal the spotlight by taking the microphone from Harry before delivering her speech, in which she explained her absence.
As Harry's birthday approached, the couple was rumored to be staying in Germany, celebrating the occasion just a day prior to the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games.
