Insider: Meghan Markle’s UK return is a total admission of failure | The Scoop
"Birmingham Invictus has not raised enough money yet. The government did give them 29 million pounds, which is absurd because Birmingham just got out of bankruptcy. And apparently there's still trash on the streets and rats the size of cats running around. But that's okay. Harry's Invictus Games for 500 people will go on for 29 million. However, he's supposed to raise that much if not more in corporate and personal sponsorship. and he's only raised four million so far and it's from anonymous donors."
The Birmingham Invictus Games, championed by Prince Harry, has reportedly only raised four million pounds from anonymous donors despite receiving 29 million pounds in government funding. The host criticized the allocation given Birmingham recently emerged from bankruptcy and faces infrastructure problems. The fundraising shortfall may explain Harry's upcoming UK visit, as he reportedly needs to secure additional corporate and personal sponsorship for the event scheduled for 500 people.
