While it’s no surprise that the media focuses on Meghan Markle’s appearance during public events, it’s still worth pointing out—especially because they pretend this doesn’t happen. Time and again, the narrative shifts away from the real purpose of the event, and the Invictus Games are no exception. 

This is at least the second time I’ve been involved with the Invictus Games, and every single appearance with Meghan follows the same pattern: the media obsesses over her clothes, her hair, her jewelry, and everything but the veterans the event is meant to honor.

Take, for instance, the recent coverage of the 2025 Invictus Games. Instead of highlighting the incredible stories of the veterans, headlines are filled with descriptions of Meghan’s outfit. One outlet described her attire as “radiant in metallic chocolate,” while another quipped, “metallic poop, more like it.” It’s frustrating to see the focus diverted from the true heroes of the event—the veterans—to what Meghan is wearing.

When called out, the defense is often, “Well, Harper’s Bazaar is a fashion magazine.” Fair enough, but what about other outlets? Take Hello Magazine, for example. Their headline read, “Meghan Markle oozes sophistication in slinky cocktail dress.” Why isn’t Hello Magazine talking about the veterans? If the Invictus Games are truly about honoring veterans, as we’re constantly reminded, why does the media consistently shift the spotlight to Meghan and Harry?

The truth is, the Invictus Games have increasingly become a platform for Harry and Meghan to bask in the limelight. It’s less about the veterans and more about showcasing the couple. It’s as if the event has turned into a stage for a “spoiled manchild” prince and his wife to receive applause simply for existing. The only difference is that Harry’s outfits don’t get the same attention—because, let’s be honest, who really cares what he’s wearing?

With Meghan, however, the media seems to believe that dissecting her fashion choices will somehow influence public behavior. They act as if detailing her outfit—down to the color, brand, and style—will inspire people to rush out and buy the same items. If you’re someone who would purchase something solely because Meghan wore it, I have to wonder about your priorities. She’s not someone I see as a role model or a figure worth emulating, and I’m not alone in that sentiment.

Then there’s the recent headline about Meghan’s “secret message” with her $1,000+ dress. The article gushed about her “impromptu speech,” but let’s be real—nothing about this seemed spontaneous. I can only imagine how the conversation went with the event organizers:

Organizers: “What do you mean Meghan wants to make a speech? That wasn’t part of the plan!”

Meghan’s Team: “Yeah, she’s decided she’s going to speak.”

Organizers: “What?! She can’t just do that!”

And yet, she did. She stepped in unplanned, took the stage, and made it about herself. It’s clear as day that this wasn’t about the veterans or the event’s mission—it was about Meghan seizing the spotlight.

At the end of the day, the Invictus Games should be about celebrating the bravery and resilience of veterans. Instead, the media’s fixation on Meghan Markle’s fashion and impromptu moments detracts from the true purpose of the event. It’s time to refocus the narrative and give the veterans the recognition they deserve.
