According to PR expert My Arias, Meghan's delayed arrival in Dusseldorf could be attributed to minimizing the time away from her two children. It is commendable to see Meghan supporting Harry at the Invictus Games, even if she flies out separately.
Despite rumors of a split, their united front is evident. The PR expert also noted that even if Meghan decided not to attend the games, it wouldn't diminish her support for Harry, as not all support needs to be public.
However, according to Lady Colin Campbell, the real reason for Meghan's delayed arrival at the Invictus Games is quite different. Lady Colin Campbell claims that Meghan wants to make a grand entrance to ensure all eyes are on her.
She further shares insights from her sources about what is happening behind the scenes. This year's Invictus Games are being held under the patronage of the German government, and Meghan has approached them with her specific requirements for her appearance.
These demands reportedly include a clothing allowance, being introduced as a Royal Highness at the event, helicopter transportation to and from the venue, and a hotel suite redecorated with a specific color scheme and high-quality bed linens to aid injured veterans' recovery.
The German government responded to these demands with a firm "no." It remains unclear whether Meghan withdrew her commitment to create a suspenseful situation or if the German government called her bluff and removed her from the schedule.
Lady Colin Campbell speculates that Meghan might use this situation to her advantage by portraying a victim narrative, suggesting a miscarriage brought on by heartless German officials. It is worth noting that rumors about Meghan's demands have been circulating for some time, with Lady Colin Campbell implying that those connected to Invictus were the ones who initially spread the rumors.
These rumors emerged when Meghan unexpectedly learned she would only be attending the closing ceremony instead of the Invictus inauguration.
Another explanation for Meghan's reluctance to participate in the Invictus Games could be that she does not believe it would benefit her personal brand. This further solidifies the growing separation between the couple, with significant demands made initially to coerce and later used to support a narrative of being excluded.
It appears that Meghan is not genuinely enthusiastic about participating in the Invictus Games since she would have to cover the expenses herself or rely on Harry's financial support. The rumor surrounding her demands did not make much sense until the truth emerged, leaving her upset, especially since she won't be the center of attention at the event.
