Prince Harry's Invictus Games initiative has recently run into a "couple of issues" amid previous claims that Meghan Markle disapproved of one of his pastimes. The Royal Family's fondness for hunting is no secret, with Queen Elizabeth herself partaking in deer stalking and princes Harry and William reportedly enjoying wild boar and stag hunts. In his tell all memoir Spare , the duke reveals he just 15-years-old when he stalked and killed his first on the Royal Family's Balmoral estate in Scotland.
However, Meghan's discomfort led Harry to allegedly quit hunting and sell his prized rifles worth roughly £50,000, Gloucestershire Live reports. While marksmanship remains part of the upcoming Invictus Games next month which Harry founded, there's now a high-tech angle: competitors will use laser guns when shooting. American veteran Christopher Bryde told Fieldsports Channel about the issues faced: "We had a couple of issues with the cold and some of the (laser) guns just not working.
Also, snow seemed to obstruct some of the targets." Bryde recounted shooting flawlessly in five rounds but managing only a single target in another round as snow blocked the laser lens. An Invictus Foundation spokesperson cited "inclusivity" as the key reason for introducing lasers, stating they are more accessible for individuals with disabilities.
Despite the snowy hiccups, officials were confident in ensuring equipment "readiness", reaffirming that the problem with snow "wouldn't be the case". Get .
