A lawsuit has been filed against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle by Don Lindsay, the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chair of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.
The lawsuit alleges that the royal couple embezzled and mismanaged millions of pounds from the Invictus Games, an international sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick military personnel and veterans that they founded.
It claims that Harry and Meghan diverted funds from the charity, breached their fiduciary duties, and exploited the brand for personal gain.
According to the lawsuit filed in the High Court of London and obtained by the Daily Mail, Harry and Meghan used the Invictus Games as a platform for their media deals and projects without the foundation’s consent.
They are accused of interfering with the planning and delivery of the games, causing delays, cancellations, and financial losses.
The lawsuit also alleges that the couple failed to provide proper accounting of funds and activities, concealing information from the foundation and the public.
The legal action sought damages, injunctions, and declarations from Harry and Meghan, marking the climax of a contentious dispute that began when the couple departed the UK and the Royal Family in 2020.
Despite attempts by the foundation to address concerns with the couple, the lawsuit reveals that Harry and Meghan responded with hostility and evasion.
An independent audit uncovered serious irregularities and improprieties in the foundation’s affairs attributed to the couple.
Prince Harry, a former British Army officer who served in Afghanistan, had been deeply committed to the Invictus Games cause, serving as the patron and president of the Invictus Games Foundation.
Meghan, who married Harry in 2018, was also actively involved as an advocate and ambassador for the event.
The couple had claimed a personal connection to the games, having announced their pregnancy at the Sydney Games and forming close bonds with participants.
However, the lawsuit exposed what it alleges to be deceit and exploitation by Harry and Meghan, tarnishing the reputation of the Invictus Games.
The legal action accuses the couple of neglecting the community and prioritizing personal gain over the foundation’s welfare.
It asserts that Harry and Meghan’s actions have caused significant harm to the event and its future.
The lawsuit paints a stark picture of betrayal and disloyalty on the part of the royal couple towards an organization they once championed.
