Invictus Veterans, a charitable organization founded by Prince Harry, are up in arms after discovering that Meghan Markle has allegedly been using up to 60% of the charity’s funds for her personal wardrobe.

This revelation has sparked outrage among the veterans, leading to discussions about potentially dismissing Prince Harry from his patronage and founder roles within both the Invictus Games and the Invictus Games Foundation.

If Harry fails to prove that Meghan’s actions are not connected to him, the organization may undergo a renaming process and select a new patron.

Since its relaunch in 2014, the Invictus Games, spearheaded by Prince Harry, have been praised for creating a transformative community for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women.

In an effort to shed further light on the stories of these remarkable individuals, a new documentary series focusing on the competitors is set to be produced by Harry and Meghan’s company, Archival Productions, in collaboration with Netflix.

During the launch of the 2018 games in Sydney, Prince Harry emphasized the inspiration behind Invictus, stating, “From my life-changing flight back from the battlefields of Afghanistan to the example of America’s Warrior Games, Invictus was inspired by the experiences I had alongside our service men and women from many nations.

These games were created for our men and women in uniform, designed around their talents and their needs, and built not just for them but also for the friends and millions of families that have supported their recoveries and had their lives changed forever.”

If the allegations of misusing charity funds hold true, it raises concerns about the exploitation of disabled athletes for personal gain.

The veterans fear that only a fraction of the funds intended for the athletes will reach them, while the majority will line the pockets of those involved.

As the patron and founder of the Invictus Games, Prince Harry finds himself at the center of this controversy, potentially jeopardizing his position within the organization.

The question now arises: who will step in as the new patron if Harry is dismissed, or will the Invictus Games face the possibility of disbandment?

The future of this cherished event hangs in the balance as Invictus Veterans demand transparency and accountability, urging Prince Harry to address the allegations and ensure the integrity of the organization he helped build.
