@Puzzledandpissedoff , Invictus helps practically nobody, I'm sorry to say. There are so many UK veterans who could benefit from the £26m being pumped into Invictus - adaptable housing, retraining, mental health. It's a complete vanity project, and the fact that the veterans have to self fund while the patron gets his expenses paid seems to completely escape the attention of the press, who are really only interested in the antics of Meghan Markle. However, Harry himself has always been untouchable when it comes to Invictus, and even his harshest of harsh critics will caveat any negative commentary with praise for his military involvement.
This is all a big PR game now, facts and the consequences of his own poor actions matter less than who wins the spin. If the RF went up against Invictus directly, while it was being held, with their own initiative, I think that would be a disaster. What they do need to do is start now, today, showing how they are helping veterans. I think I read somewhere that The Royal foundation had been sending money to Help The Heroes (after previously sending money to Invictus, even after Harry left). This needs to be publicised better if it's correct, and if not, make it happen! And perhaps William should focus his housebuilding venture on veterans too, and do it visibly. They need to start being proactive rather than reactive to the Sussexes. Steal the march before 2027. Chess not tiddlywinks.
