Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle 'replaced at Invictus Games' by German television presenter

Meghan Markle, who's not accompanying her husband Prince Harry to the UK, has reportedly been taken off the schedule of the Duke's Invictus Games.

Harry, who created the Games after he was inspired following a visit to the US Warrior Games in 2013, still feels proud to bring an event like this to the UK for the first time

The Duke of Sussex believes it can have a long lasting impact on the well-being of those who have served their nations so bravely, but the new development sparked reactions from fans, with one asking: "Why Meghan is staying back from supporting the good cause?"

It comes after a media outlet revealed that the Duchess of Sussex's name is missing from a listing on the website of the eight day long Invictus Games, which begins in Düsseldorf, Germany, on Saturday (September 9).

The official guide for the Paralympic-style sporting competition suggested Harry's wife Meghan would go on stage at the closing ceremony to present a segment about competitors' lives. 

However, a new detailed schedule - according to a media outlet - says German TV host Hadnet Tesfai will take Meghan's place.

There are also reports that the information was "uploaded in error" and Meghan will join Harry at the games, which the Duke of Sussex founded in 2014.

Prince Harry's arrival in Düsseldorf on Saturday will coincide with a protest by activists claiming the German military will use the competition to recruit people.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry arrived the UK on Thursday (today) without his wife Meghan Markle as the anniversary of Her Majesty's death nears.
