In a significant shift, Invictus Germany has distanced itself from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, opting to focus on its core mission and values. This decision comes amid growing concerns about the Sussexes' negative impact on the organization and their potential to overshadow its primary goals.
The decision by Invictus Germany to part ways with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stems from a range of issues. When the Sussexes were involved with the organization, they brought with them a set of expectations that many found problematic. Firstly, their high-profile status often required covering their substantial expenses for travel, accommodation, clothing and meals. While some organizations might accept these costs, others find them burdensome - particularly when coupled with the perceived arrogance of the Sussexes' demands.

Beyond financial considerations, the Sussexes' presence was seen as a potential distraction. Their brand, once a symbol of celebrity glamour, has become controversial. Public sentiment towards the Sussexes has shifted and many people now view their involvement with charities and causes with skepticism. The negative associations that come with their names can undermine the very causes that they aim to support, leading to a conflict of interest.
Invictus Germany is dedicated to supporting injured and ill service members and first responders. It found itself at a crossroads - the organization's primary mission is to honor and support those who've sacrificed for their country by spreading respect and appreciation for their service. However, the Sussexes' involvement risked overshadowing the mission and diverting attention away from the individuals the organization aims to help.

As a result, Invictus Germany decided to forge a new path. The organization is now focusing on its core objectives and has introduced a new patron, Dr. Steven Keller, to lead this renewed effort. The decision to separate from the Sussexes' alliance is part of a broader strategy to ensure that their events and initiatives remain focused on their original purpose.
The first Invictus Germany Sports Festival held at the Castello dorf marked a new chapter for the organization. The event, which took place over a weekend, was a resounding success with 250 participants and around 2,000 spectators. The festival showcased a range of disciplines including table tennis, indoor rowing, sitting volleyball and spinning.
