Meghan Markle and Prince Harry bid farewell to the 2023 Invictus Games with beaming smiles as Rita Ora's captivating performance marked the grand finale at the Markus Spiele Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany on Saturday, September 16.
While the evening was filled with stellar musical acts, reports surfaced suggesting that both Rita Ora and Sam Ryder, the other performer, were dissatisfied with the way Meghan and Harry orchestrated the show.
Despite the event's success, only a single photo featuring all four of them was released by a tabloid.
Notably, neither Rita Ora nor Sam Ryder shared any pictures with Meghan and Harry on their social media platforms.
Rita Ora's initial Instagram story related to the Invictus Games made no reference to Harry and Meghan, and her feigned happiness in the official Getty Picture alongside them spoke volumes.
Insiders revealed that both performers shared a great rapport with the show's host, Hadnet Tesfaye.
However, it appears that the Sussexes did not extend the same courtesy to Hadnet.
Hailing from Eritrea and having grown up in Germany, Hadnet Tesfaye boasts two decades of experience as a TV and radio presenter.
Sources confirmed that the reported disrespect shown by Harry and Meghan towards her was disappointing, echoing the sentiments expressed by Rita Ora and Sam Ryder.
Following the conclusion of the Invictus Games, Hadnet Tesfaye notably refrained from mentioning the Sussexes.
Instead, she took to her Instagram story to post a photo with Rita Ora and Sam Ryder, accompanied by a subtle note of gratitude.
There are indications that she faced mistreatment from Meghan and Harry during the event.
Recall the time when Meghan pushed to present the Life Stories segment of the closing ceremony through an extensive PR campaign?
Subsequently, it was announced that the seasoned German TV host, Hadnet Tesfaye, would moderate the segment.
Here's what transpired: Hadnet conducted emotional interviews on stage, including one with Anna Zofia, the daughter of Ukrainian competitor Tara Prasavica, who had been held captive by Russian forces and later released.
The interview concluded with a poignant applause, highlighting Hadnet's deft handling of the situation.
As Hadnet expressed gratitude to Anna Zofia, Harry abruptly stormed onto the stage and embraced Anna in a prolonged hug.
This unexpected intrusion left Hadnet visibly surprised, but she swiftly regained composure, remarking, “I was just about to introduce you.
But now that you're here.”
Subsequently, she exited the stage with Anna Zofia, sharing a bewildered glance with Harry, who sported a smirk.
Notably, Harry deviated from the scripted protocol by failing to acknowledge Hadnet by name, thereby thwarting her formal introduction.
It is evident that Meghan sought to orchestrate this moment, prompting Harry's impromptu intervention, which effectively sidelined Hadnet.
Harry's abrupt demeanor as he rushed onstage appeared forceful, leaving Hadnet visibly shaken.
Meghan's disappointment at not being the one to introduce Harry was palpable, as she goaded him to assert her displeasure on her behalf.
Harry's conduct was widely perceived as discourteous.
Meghan's choice of attire, a striking turquoise dress, seemed to convey a message of sartorial prowess, possibly aiming to rival the show's announcer.
