Adding to the growing concerns, the dismissal of two senior leaders from the Invictus Foundation has left many volunteers and employees disgruntled. Calls are mounting for the organization to scrutinize and potentially remove expenses associated with Meghan and Harry. The German letter further breaks down the allocation of the Düsseldorf Invictus funds, with 24% allocated to cover Harry and Meghan's security, accommodation, and site events. The term "site events" likely encompasses various expenses, including the couple's travel, Megan's clothing and jewelry, hotel costs, and security. It also encompasses activities like surprise charity visits for PR purposes and Harry's birthday party.
The revelation that a significant portion of the Invictus budget, which surpassed $40 million, was allocated in this manner has raised concerns about potential misuse of charity funds. Notably, there are no provisions for scrutiny by the veterans and participants themselves, who had to cover their own accommodation expenses.
Social media has been abuzz with criticism, with many expressing concerns about the mismanagement of funds that should primarily benefit veterans. Some are demanding a thorough investigation into these financial matters, emphasizing that this issue deserves more attention than the distracting narratives pushed by Harry and Meghan's PR team.
The departure of top executives from Invictus has raised eyebrows, with speculation that their resignations may be linked to budgetary concerns. Many are calling for swift action to hold those responsible accountable for potentially mishandling funds meant for veterans. This situation has cast a shadow over the Invictus Games, once hailed as a noble cause, and has led to growing skepticism about the actions of Harry and Meghan, who have positioned themselves as humanitarians.
In other news, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have witnessed a significant decline in their popularity over the past two years. Prince Harry has been urged to step out of the shadow of Meghan Markle to reclaim his place in the royal family. PR expert Edward Corum James suggested that the former Royal needs to forge his own path away from Meghan to regain popularity.
The expert explained that if they want to start rebuilding their once-sterling popularity, they should focus on developing solo brand strategies independently of each other. For the Invictus Games, Edwards suggested that Harry could draw from his experience as a war veteran and conservationist to support wounded soldiers and conservation efforts in Africa.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle, known for her role in the TV show "Suits," has been suggested to explore her dormant acting career. While she hasn't proven herself as a filmmaker yet, she is recognized as a talented actor and a key cast member in one of the most popular TV shows of the past decade. If she dedicates herself to acting and continues her efforts to support environmental causes and vulnerable communities, she may gradually rebuild trust with the public, which is the first step toward regaining a positive reputation, according to Corum James.
