Sunrise host Matt Shirvington takes a brutal swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's presence at the Invictus Games

Sunrise host Matt Shirvington is expressing concern that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's presence at the Invictus Games is getting more attention than the achievements of the athletes. He has brought up this issue on multiple occasions and used the example of Meghan hugging Australian athlete Laura Reynell as a point of discussion. Additionally, he mentioned a reported incident where Princess Catherine and Prince William didn't seem entirely comfortable with Meghan's hug when they first met her.

Shirvington's comments suggest he believes that the attention given to Harry and Meghan could potentially overshadow the athletes who have dedicated years of training to participate in the Invictus Games. This viewpoint reflects a concern that public figures like the royal couple might unintentionally divert attention away from the primary purpose of the event, which is to honor and celebrate the achievements of wounded, injured, and sick military personnel and veterans.

Matt Shirvington made some critical and somewhat sarcastic remarks about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's involvement in the Invictus Games. He questioned whether the royal couple's efforts to champion the Games were driven by a quest for attention, and he also suggested that their presence might not be entirely altruistic and could serve as publicity for them.

His comments seemed to surprise and amuse his colleagues, with one co-host warning him to be more careful. Shirvington also mentioned "leaked photos" in a somewhat skeptical manner, which could indicate that he wasn't entirely convinced of the couple's motivations or actions.
