Established by Prince Harry in 2014, the Invictus Games aim to empower wounded veterans through competitive sports, drawing inspiration from the US Warrior Games.
In an interview with GB News, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams expressed apprehension regarding the growing influence of the royal family on the event. He highlighted the discreet announcement of Tindall’s new role, suggesting it has irked Prince Harry.
He remarked: “Mike Tindall, who is the husband of Zara, the King’s niece, has been given a high position to do something about the Invictus Games.”
“I think Harry is absolutely furious about this. It has been announced, but very quietly.”
Fitzwilliams continued: “Some people say they want Harry because he’s the beginning of the whole Invictus Games, and other people say that it would be delightful that they don’t do all this nonsense and they don’t want Meghan making speeches. They don’t want her leading marches.
“She did lead people who were in winning last year, and she walked as if she was at a dress show and they were walking behind her looking very angry because she doesn’t really know very much about the army and the military.”
Mike Tindall once showed how he felt about Prince Harry with a single scathing one-word remark.
The ex-England rugby player did not hold back and reportedly made the scathing one-word remark as the Royal Family celebrated the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Following the concert, Tindall spoke to another guest and allegedly described Prince Harry’s behaviour as that of a “b******,” the Daily Express reports.
