Meghan Markle’s absence at the Invictus Games
The expectation for Meghan Markle’s possible appearance in London for the special celebration of the Invictus Games has been left up in the air, since the Duchess of Sussex has decided to support her husband, Prince Harry, from the United States. Although there had been speculation about her participation in the event commemorating the tenth anniversary of the games founded by the prince, her presence in the United Kingdom ultimately did not materialize.
The economic impact of Meghan’s decision
Meghan’s decision to stay home has financial implications for the former ‘Suits’ actress. She had hoped to capitalize on her visit to the UK by selling her experiences to some outlet willing to pay a hefty sum for an exclusive. However, her interview cannot take place and her plan to turn her visit into a media event has been thwarted.
Prince Harry’s engagement
Despite Meghan’s absence, Prince Harry will attend the 10th anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games, an event he founded in 2014 with the support of Queen Elizabeth II to honor active members and wounded veterans of the armed forces. The Duke of Sussex will take part in a special ‘thanksgiving’ service at St. Paul’s Cathedral next Wednesday, May 8.
Concern for the safety of Meghan and her children
The safety of Meghan and her children has been a constant concern for Prince Harry, especially after the decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) not to provide publicly funded protection to the family of the Duke of Sussex when in the UK. This has led to Meghan and the children not accompanying the prince on his trips to the United Kingdom, as has happened on previous occasions.
Harry’s continued commitment to the Invictus Games
Despite the difficulties, Prince Harry continues to honor his commitment to the Invictus Games. His participation in the event demonstrates his dedication to this important cause that he founded with his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle will remain in California with her children until her husband returns.
