Prince Harry's apparent wipe to Donald Trump After he called his wife 'terrible', was an unwanted 'distraction' of the good work of Invictus, an insider told MailOnline today.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused of choosing to 'constantly put themselves in the spotlight' during the games.
“They have become a distraction that overshadow the veterans who should be in the middle of all this,” a volunteer said.
“This event should be about the veterans, not Royal Spectacle.”
The Duke of Sussex used his speech to 40,000 people during the opening ceremony of the Invictus games in Canada for 'weak moral character in the world' – before veterans thank – in comments that are widely viewed as an excavation with the new US president.
It came after Mr Trump had hit the calls for the deportation of Harry in the midst of controversy about his visa and his historical drug use. “I don't want to do that. He has plenty of problems with his wife. She is terrible, “said the president.
Harry founded Invictus with the support of his father King Charles and brother Prince William and other senior royals to support and encourage Injured military staff.
A Senior Invictus Games Volunteer, involved in the organization of the event in Vancouver and Whistler since it was announced in 2022, claimed that Prince Harry's speech was a 'awake' distraction that would not be welcomed by injured, injured and sick military Staff at opening ceremony at the BC Place Stadium of Vancouver.
“Although we are committed to supporting the veterans and their families, there is growing frustration about how Harry and Meghan have dominated the story,” the Insider said.
'Public sentiment, especially among veterans, reflects this frustration – does not respect the most how they constantly bring themselves into the spotlight. Unlike them, veterans and their families do not see themselves as victims. Their “awake” agenda dies with veterans'.

Another insider said: “Although you can understand it, he must be upset, it's a shame that Harry chose to say what he did when he did.”
MailOnline asked Harry's spokesperson to comment on the speech of the Duke and whether it was a reference to Donald Trump.
Yesterday, Harry and Meghan applied a public representation of affection on the Invictus games during the weekend – hours after Donald Trump took a wipe at their marriage.
The couple could not keep their hands apart during the opening ceremony of the competition for wounded veterans in Vancouver, Canada.
Meghan, 43, dressed in a £ 2,400 ivory maxi trench jacket made of baby alpaca wool by Salent, saw her head resting on Harry's shoulder.
At one point she tenderly rocked his face before leaning in front of a kiss while they saw their friends Katy Perry, Chris Martin and Nelly Furtado perform.
Their loving appearance followed the comments of the American president in which he called for Harry's deportation, in the midst of controversy about his visa.
“I don't want to do that,” Mr Trump told the New York Post. “I leave him alone. He has plenty of problems with his wife. She is terrible. '
In his 2023 memoirs, Harry admitted that he had used drugs in the past, as a result of which the right -wing Heritage Foundation was asked to suggest that he was lying to use them on his visa application or received special treatment by Joe Biden.
Mr. Trump's comments are not the first time he criticized Meghan, who openly supported Mr Biden and burned the Republican 'division and misogynistic' in an interview of 2016.
He said that he is 'not a fan' of Meghan and claims that 'Harry is beaten' and 'is led around his nose'.
But in what could be conceived as a veiled reprimand of Mr Trump's insults, Harry later gave a speech that praised the veterans '' courage, values ​​and humanity 'at the same time' when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty , No lack of weak moral character in the world '.
