Today, we have more clarity on the situation—it appears Meghan Markle has been banned from participating altogether. Not just excluded from the closing ceremonies, but completely removed. Given the tumultuous past months with the Duke and the Queen, it's not surprising that things have taken this turn.
Last week, German online media reported Meghan's removal from any official role in Dusseldorf at the Invictus Games. The keyword here is "removed," emphasizing that her presence was not tolerated. It's possible Meghan might have given organizers an ultimatum—her or me. Well, it seems the decision was easy for them.
The German organizers of the event may have taken issue with Meghan overshadowing their local German and, for that matter, any black media personality, which could have caused unnecessary attention and controversy. Germans, from what we know, appreciate stability and order. They have a close relationship with the British monarchy and understand the importance of preserving traditions.
Now, as per the latest reports, Meghan has been dropped from an official role in the closing ceremony, particularly a segment with German TV presenter Hadnet Tesfai, where Tesfai will moderate stories of disabled veterans and their families.
Looking at the pre-Invictus gossip in the German media, Meghan was not garnering much positive attention. Germans are not known for tolerating BS, and they certainly didn't want Meghan and Harry adding drama to the event.
Best-case scenario? Meghan stays away from the event altogether. But can she resist the lure of cameras, audiences, and microphones? Not likely, considering her insatiable appetite for attention.
Regardless, Meghan's removal seems like a wise decision by the German organizers, ensuring that the focus remains on the real heroes of the games. Meghan Markle's presence would undoubtedly have diverted attention away from the veterans and their remarkable stories.
