Meghan Markle accused of 'evocative barb' at royals while hailing Invictus Games heroes

Meghan Markle may have taken a subtle dig at the Royal Family in her speech praising the heroes of the Invictus Games, some critics are convinced. During the opening ceremony of the sporting event at the Hague the Duchess of Sussex took to the stage to rapturous applause.

As reported by the Mirror, she began her remarks by thanking those present, her husband Prince Harry and in particular the team from Ukraine. Meghan then issued what some have claimed is a veiled swipe at the Firm by telling Invictus competitors: "This is service."

Meghan told the ex-military heroes at the games set up by Harry: “Thank you so much for your service and thank you to all the family and friends that are here who have been supporting you along the way. Because this is service, this is dedication and this is the In­victus family.”
