<p id=”par-1_91″>The first-ever Winter Invictus Games have come and gone but something was different this year compared to past years and many people noticed. Unfortuatley, over the last few years the focus has not been on the amazing <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/invictus-games-athletes-complain-latest-decision-prince-harry-made-wondering-going-compete.html/?swcfpc=1″>athletes and competitors</a>, but instead has been on <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/meghan-markle/?swcfpc=1″>Meghan Markle</a>‘s clothes. It’s been almost impossible to find a tabloid referencing the Games that didn’t talk about what the duchess wearing and by which designer. And that has been a good look for the Games and some have dubbed it the “Meghan Fashion Show.” </p>
<p id=”par-2_74″>So this year they mixed things up a bit as <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harry-was-able-to-marry-meghan-markle-because-she-didnt-do-this-1-thing-in-her-past.html/”>Prince Harry’s wife</a> wasn’t prancing around in dresses and other eye-catching outfits. While Meghan’s clothes at the 2025 Games were exactly the most affordable, there is something to be said for the simplicity of her wearing a sweather and jeans. There was also a notable shift in the amount of jewelry she wore compared to years past as she wore less than usual. </p>

<p id=”par-3_17″>Now a PR expert is claiming that was all deliberate and done for one specific reason. </p>

<p id=”par-4_41″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-getting-residual-checks-suits-surprise-streaming-success.html/”>former <em>Suits</em> star</a> left the event a few days early this year, ensuring that the focus couldn’t be on her the whole time. And while she was there, Meghan sported more toned-down looks for each event she attended. </p>
<p id=”par-5_27″>Edward Coram James, CEO of <a href=”https://www.goup.co.uk/”>Go Up</a>, spoke to <a href=”https://www.gbnews.com/royal/meghan-markle-social-media-strategy-invictus-games” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>GB News</a> about how that was done deliberately by the duchess so people could see her as “realtable.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_41″>He explained: “The choice of Invictus Games as the primary focus seems deliberate. It’s a bulletproof cause. Notice what’s missing? Any luxury, any Hollywood glam, any over-curation. This is intentional. She wants people to see her as relatable, hardworking, and philanthropic.”</p>
