Why is Meghan on the stage ?

I see. I wouldn't want to misquote her.

And it should be noted seeing things through her lens is personal, no other person would be able to see it the same way.

I have a plastic lens in one eye. Would that make a difference ？

Do you have the eye sparkle @smilesy ? I never knew this upside of (very early) cataract surgery until I had it done and someone pointed it out afterwards.

And it goes without saying, whereas the correct lens makes things clearer and the wrong one distorts , neither effect whether something is true or not.

I do. I had early cataract surgery due to a condition called Fuchs (I kid you not) 😆

@smilesy not normally 🤣 , however being serious the old lenses used did course halo effects particularly at night, now they sometimes don't even bother with a replacement lens! , they make a small incision and remove the cloudy lens then it heals .
Funny enough I was born with cataracts which makes me very sensitive to light but they won't do anything to remove them unless they grow!! Bummer.

Did you give a....?

To get back on topic, has it been confirmed that they flew to Vancouver privately?

If so, who paid? And why fly privately on a short route with frequent flights? Even as a working royal, Harry often flew commercial.

And what would Travalyst say?

Yes the light sensitivity is annoying and I still suffer from it. You don’t really want to have cataract surgery unless you have to. The anaesthetic isn’t fun 🤪

eta it gives me a good excuse to wear cool sunglasses though 😆

Every report I have read says they travelled by private jet .
No idea who is paying .

The DM covering how utterly offensive it is to manoeuvre a wheelchair user without their permission.

I can't see them paying out of their own budget, so I suspect Invictus is paying.

I wonder if Meghan is insisting on this for reasons of 'prestige'? As I said above, Harry often travelled commercial when on royal duties and didn't seem to have an issue with it.

Not sure if they flew privately or not but I don’t think any of the commercial outfits fly Santa Barbara - Vancouver direct.

To fly scheduled commercial between the two might involve a detour (land or air) to route via somewhere like LAX…

Wouldn't Invictus have paid for travel, hotel and clothes? That's the rumour, I think. It would have done their reputation so much good to fly commercial, pay for modest rooms for themselves and their security, and for Meghan to bring existing outfits, one a day.

No, not Santa Barbara. I didn't even know there was an airport there.

But there are plenty of flights to Vancouver from LA which is only an hour and a half from Montecito. I wouldn't call that a 'detour'.

Invictus will pay for travel and accommodation, which would be fair enough within reason.

But why should they pay for the clothing budget of the wife of the founding patron? She doesn't have any role at the games.

Surely not! To go via private jet would be extremely tone deaf even by H's abysmal tone deaf standards..

They’re a pair of chumps. We know this. One thing I would say though, is I think Meghan could go a long way to making herself more likeable if she turned up at these events in Invictus branded clothing and got stuck in. Ignored the camera, and really showed genuine enthusiasm for the events themselves. Harry used to, now he’s in a suit. Why is she getting changed into four outfits in one day? It’s ridiculous and the impression is of a spoilt, silly, out of touch woman using a great endeavour such as Invictus for her own personal showcase. It’s really quite nauseating,

I’m not Meghan, but if I was I would say that Harry was the door.

I’m not Meghan but I think she looks

Why can’t you finish your sentences?

They would be wise to pay for themselves. Invictus is a charity. They are rich. The veterans pay for themselves.

It's odd, isn't it?
I presume some point is being made.

It looks like talking points that need to be completed.
