Among the other notable figures in the VIP box were local indigenous leaders, BC Premier David Eie, and the Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, and Sports, Lana Pam. The Jumbotron at the game also highlighted Harry's upcoming Invictus Games scheduled to be held in Whistler and Vancouver from February 8th to the 16th in 2025.
However, a video clip has since surfaced, suggesting that Meghan Markle may have been ignored by Prince Harry during the Canucks game. They appeared not to be interacting with each other, with Harry engaged in conversation with someone else while Meghan interacted with the person on her right. Meghan seemed to maintain an appearance of merriment, even when the person beside her remained impassive. At times, she glanced up at the large TV screen, seemingly to ensure she was visible to all.
Observers noted a shift in their dynamic, with Harry rarely acknowledging Meghan during such events. Meghan, who used to frequent Hollywood events solo, now often accompanies Harry, drawing attention not only to herself but also to her lavish jewelry collection, including a $30,000 Cartier necklace and a $250,000 blood diamond pinky ring.
Questions have arisen regarding the funding for Harry and Meghan's attendance at the Canucks game, with some speculating that it might be tied to Invictus Games funding. This has raised eyebrows, particularly following recent reports of CEO and COO resignations due to overspending, including substantial amounts of taxpayers' money, which has fueled the need to manage search engine optimization (SEO) results and alter the press narrative surrounding the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler.
Interestingly, back in 2002, Queen Elizabeth herself dropped the puck at a Canucks game against the Sharks when Markus Naslund was the Captain, and Wayne Gretzky was by her side. Harry and Meghan resided on Vancouver Island for three months in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, considering British Columbia as a potential home before ultimately relocating to Los Angeles, where they now live with their two children. At one point, there were rumors about the couple considering a waterfront residence in Kitsilano, although these rumors were later debunked.
