The Invictus Games 'One Year To Go' In Düsseldorf

The German taxpayers paid for a private plane to pick up the Sussexes from London and to take them back

Germans are usually quite sensible and practical people, and given that Russia has recently cut off their energy supplies (due to the war in Ukraine) indefinitely you’d think they would be cautious about unnecessary fuel wastage. Across the country, people have been told to save energy and reduce their consumption, use public transport, and restrictions have been put in places such as in public facilities there will be no hot water. However, someone thought it was acceptable to send a publicly funded Luftwaffe plane to pick the duo up from London and then fly them back. The plane is reserved for government officials and members of the military, but it seems that the plane was ‘offered’ to them by the German military (Bundeswehr) as partners in organising the Invictus Games in Germany. They could have declined, and taken a commercial flight to reduce their carbon footprint, but they love their freebies too much to worry about being called hypocrites again.

The Germans literally rolled out the red carpet for the private visit, and treated them as is they were still active members of the Royal Family. That is for the local German government to decide, but it is disrespectful to the Queen because it has been made clear that the Sussexes do not represent the Royal Family at all. The Germans also set up a three mile roadblock so that the journey by a guzzling Porsche Cayenne would be swift. This is what TW and Harry want the UK Government to give them as private citizens.

Once in the city, there were photos of the unveiling of the ‘A Home For Respect’ motto for the games, a walkabout in the market square, and the duo also signed the Golden Book in the City Hall which is for distinguished guests. For a private visit, they were enjoying the attention and hospitality of the Germans. Although there was a balcony in the book signing room, it was said it would have been inappropriate for them to step outside and wave. You think? Did they even need the red carpet and all the electricity needed to clean it—Germany needs to save their energy as there is no guarantee the Russians will reactivate the pipelines! The duo seemed to bask in the attention, and although there were cheers, there were also boos as you would expect—I mean, they are the toxic Sussexes. A friend of a friend works in the Town Hall and said there was definite hissing and booing, but these were at the back and were drowned out by the cheering. They also said a number of people were passing by and just stopped to see what was going on.

TW took the lead in her over bronzed, streakily self-tanned face, where the X on her forehead didn’t mark buried treasure, but was the mark of insanity. Forget 666, when you have an X etched into the forehead. Dressed in another pair of clown trousers (this was all a joke and fun for her) that didn’t fit her, she was going for a sexy look as her boobs jiggled as she posed and preened for photos. Was it an appropriate outfit while accompanying your spouse who is on a business trip? She may as well have worn a lycra mini skirt and a crop top. Security didn’t seem to be an issue for the Sussexes who always think they are in perennial ‘danger,’ as they happily posed for photos and shook hands with all and sundry. They even battled over territory as TW took the lead, and then Harry pushed his way back in.

Next was a cruise on the MS Rhein Galaxie along the Rhine, where a police boat was used to ‘clear’ the way. Was this pomp and ceremony all necessary for a private visit, and how much did it cost the taxpayer? How much energy and fuel resources did this day trip use? How many homes could be heated with all that energy? Think about that in a few months when there might be rationing and power cuts. Germany gets 52% of its energy from Russia, and now it has been stopped with no date for when it will resume. Can any city justify such a waste of resources when it looks like rationing could be implemented within weeks?

They were dropped off at the Merkur-Spiel sports stadium, where Harry gave a short speech, you know the usual spiel and Harry uttering a few words in the native language to show willing. A discussion was held and TW managed to hog the microphone again. The Luftwaffe then flew them back to London, and had made two unnecessary journeys to pick them up and then return. Is that eco-friendly in the current climate where an energy crisis is about to hit Europe? Who knows what will happen next year? With the Harkle luck, there may well be a full on war in Germany by then, or the country will be rationing gas and petrol.

This was of course all for the Netflix project, just how much as been spent on this already, and are Netflix really hoping to make a profit or break even?

The Germans welcomed the Sussexes, but will they feel the same when they see how much they cost? All this is free PR for them, and the only thing they had to fork out for was a lift from Windsor to RAF Northolt and back again. Germany, you are welcome to the Sussexes, but be warned, they will bleed you dry. On the same day, TW’s latest podcast was released with Mindy Kaling. I have no idea who she is, and a brief glance at the transcript last night helped me to fall asleep.
