Meghan Markle's participation in the upcoming Invictus Games has raised questions after her name was removed from the media schedule. The multi-sport event, founded by Prince Harry, is set to start on September 9 in Dusseldorf.
Uncertainty Surrounding Meghan's Involvement
While Prince Harry plans to attend the entire event, it remains unclear what role Meghan Markle will play. According to an official guide to the games, the Duchess of Sussex was initially scheduled to "take to the stage" for the closing ceremony. However, sources now claim that this information was included in error and has since been deleted. The website's updated listing does not mention Meghan's role, leading to further speculation.
Presenter Hadnet Tesfai Steps In
As Meghan's involvement becomes uncertain, the "detailed schedule" of the Invictus Games suggests that presenter Hadnet Tesfai will now take her place. Whether this change was due to a misunderstanding or a deliberate decision by the organizers is yet to be confirmed.
Prince Harry Returns to the UK
In the midst of this uncertainty, Prince Harry is set to make his first return to the UK since June. He will attend a charity awards ceremony in London, celebrating the achievements and resilience of seriously-ill youngsters and their families supported by WellChild.
Note: Harry recently launched the documentary Heart Of Invictus, showcasing the journey of service members participating in the Paralympic-style sporting competition he established in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel and veterans. The Sussexes' multimillion-pound deal with Netflix includes this documentary as part of their content output, following last year's controversial Harry & Meghan documentary.
After stepping down from their royal duties, Harry and Meghan moved to the US in 2020.
The Invictus Games has been contacted for comment by The Celeb Report.
