It's clear to everyone by now that Prince Harry is totally under Meghan Markle's influence. Some might say he's her "pet," but I'll leave the harsh language aside—it's obvious he’s very much controlled by her. So, when reports come out that he's frustrated with the backlash she faces, especially surrounding the Invictus Games, it’s hard not to see why.
The backlash is completely justified, by the way. It's pretty apparent that Meghan has turned the Invictus Games into a personal fashion show. So when we hear that Prince Harry, the so-called founder of the event (he didn’t exactly create it), is upset about the media focusing on Meghan's clothes and jewelry, it's hard to ignore the irony.
The Invictus Games were supposed to be about honoring veterans and showcasing their resilience. Instead, every year, the focus seems to shift to Meghan's outfits, her jewelry, and her public appearances. It’s like Prince Harry is pretending that Meghan’s PR machine isn’t responsible for the constant media attention. We all know that publications like Tatler, Town & Country, InStyle, US Weekly, People Magazine—the list goes on—regularly cover her every move. Yet Harry seems to think it’s not coming from their side.
Royal insiders, of course, defend Meghan’s presence at the games. They say she’s there to support Harry. But honestly, does she have any real reason to be there beyond getting attention for herself? Royal expert Katie Nichols, for example, claims it’s unfair that Meghan’s clothes and behavior overshadow the event’s true purpose. Well, the truth is, Meghan is the one overshadowing it. The media circus revolves around her, and it's hard to deny.
This protective nature Harry has for Meghan isn’t new. As a working royal, he was always vocal about protecting his family, especially after starting his own. But here’s the catch—how many times have we seen this "family" in anything other than photoshopped images? Despite the constant criticism, Harry is still committed to the Invictus Games. He says he won't let the negativity distract from the athletes. But let’s be real—maybe the best way to show that commitment would be for Meghan to stop making it all about her.
In the end, these games are about the athletes who have overcome so much. But somehow, it always ends up turning into a media circus revolving around Meghan. Harry, do you not see that?
