Yesterday, during the live session, I started talking about Harry and his involvement with the Invictus Games—especially how he's been exploiting children for publicity. As a parent myself, it really gets under my skin. To me, what Harry is doing is gross. He claims to protect his “invisible, phantom” kids from the public eye, yet he’s showing the faces of other people’s children all over social media. These kids don't have the same level of security, so what is he doing putting them out there like that?
Now, let’s talk about the ridiculousness of Harry’s recent stunt with Jelly Roll. If you’ve seen the cringe-worthy skit they put out, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Honestly, it’s on the same level as Meghan’s embarrassing moment with Ellen, where she drank from a baby bottle and acted like a child. That was just pure humiliation, and this recent skit with Harry is no better. It’s hard to believe that this is what Harry, born into royalty, thinks is acceptable behavior. It’s like a bad joke and honestly, it feels like something Megan would come up with herself, thinking it’s all “genius” or whatever.
Harry walks into a tattoo shop, and it turns into a whole awkward back-and-forth about getting a tattoo for the Invictus Games. But wait, is this about the games or something else?
Why is Harry making jokes about getting a tattoo instead of focusing on the event that’s supposed to honor injured veterans?
And don’t get me started on the tattoo itself. First of all, if Harry were really getting a tattoo, they would have shaved off the stubble on his neck—tattoos don’t go over beard hair! It's just another sign of how fake and forced this entire skit feels. Not to mention, the whole thing is so low-brow.
Now let’s talk about the tattoo itself. On the side of his neck, it says "I am jelly roll." If you don’t know, "jelly roll" is a slang term with some very questionable connotations. It’s historically been used to refer to female genitalia, and later, it became associated with drugs. Given Jelly Roll’s past with substance abuse and his criminal record, I don’t know why Harry thought this would be a good idea for a family-friendly event. It feels so out of place.
And, let’s not forget that Harry’s been trying to involve children in this whole circus. Recently, he gave away free tickets to the Invictus Games to schoolchildren. And who’s performing at the event? Jelly Roll, who has a history of substance abuse and run-ins with the law. I’m sorry, but I’m not comfortable with the idea of children looking up to someone with a past like that. I wouldn’t want my child attending such an event, especially if it’s promoting someone with a reputation like his.
Honestly, this is not the type of message I want to send to young people. If anything, it’s encouraging the idea that being a drug addict and having a criminal record is something that can be overcome just by “turning your life around” and getting fame, but that’s not the reality for most people.
And let’s talk about the Invictus Games. Harry’s whole association with the event has completely lost its focus. It used to be about supporting injured veterans, but now it feels more like a circus. Taxpayers are footing the bill for Harry’s security and lavish accommodations while the actual veterans are left struggling. It doesn’t sit right with me, especially when you compare it to other sports events where the athletes don’t have to pay for their own travel and accommodations.
And honestly, it’s frustrating to see how much money is being poured into this event, especially when the veterans and the actual games aren’t benefiting from it. I keep wondering how much Jelly Roll got paid for this ridiculous tattoo stunt. Was that money really well spent? If it’s all about veterans, why not focus on finding a local artist or a more appropriate entertainer for the event?
At the end of the day, I just think it’s time for Harry to step down from his role with the Invictus Games. He’s no longer representing what the event was meant to be. His behavior, and the way he’s now using children for publicity, is just disgusting. The games need a serious revamp, or they might as well be canceled altogether.
What do you think, guys? Am I overreacting, or are we all seeing the same thing here? Harry has completely turned the Invictus Games into something unrecognizable, and it’s just a sad situation for everyone involved.
The recent field trip taken by students from Shaunessey Elementary School has raised several concerns among parents. The trip, which was organized by the Vancouver School District, took the students to meet Prince Harry at the Armory. The event was presented as a chance for the children to meet the prince, take photos, and participate in activities. However, questions have arisen regarding the involvement of the Invictus Games school program and its appropriateness for young children.
Many parents are frustrated and confused about why this program was introduced to their children. One parent expressed disbelief, wondering how a military-focused event could be integrated into the school curriculum, especially when it may not be age-appropriate for children as young as kindergarten and grade two. A particular handout given to students as part of the Invictus program raised red flags for some parents, with its language seeming more suitable for older students.
There is also concern that this program is less about supporting veterans and more about using them as a vehicle for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's personal gain. Critics argue that the Invictus Games have shifted from their original purpose of supporting wounded veterans to becoming a platform for the couple to profit and boost their public image. Some people even described the whole event as a "circus," claiming it no longer honors veterans properly.
The issue became even more controversial when reports surfaced that Prince Harry was demanding a $1.5 million payment for his role as patron of the Invictus Games. Critics believe this shows that the games have lost their focus, turning into an event that prioritizes Harry's ego over the veterans they were initially meant to support. Additionally, concerns about taxpayer money being used to fund security and other expenses for the event have added fuel to the fire.
In the midst of this, there is also frustration over the way Prince Harry and Meghan Markle present themselves as advocates for children's safety online while simultaneously using children's faces for their PR purposes. This apparent hypocrisy has not gone unnoticed, adding to the backlash against their involvement with the Invictus Games.
Some parents are calling for more transparency and accountability in how the Invictus Games program is being integrated into schools, while others are questioning the motives behind it. As of now, many remain unsure about what the ultimate goal of these efforts is, with some believing it is an attempt by Harry and Meghan to line their pockets rather than support the veterans they claim to care about.
Ultimately, for some, the Invictus Games no longer represent the noble cause of helping wounded veterans, but have instead become another tool for Harry and Meghan's financial and public relations ambitions. With growing concern about the true intentions behind these programs, many are left wondering if this is the right path for an event that was once deeply meaningful.
