Relatives of a disabled veteran involved in a legal dispute with Katy Perry are urging Prince Harry to reevaluate the singer’s participation in the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games were founded by the Duke of Sussex to pay tribute to military personnel, both active and veteran, who have been wounded, injured or ill.
Recently acquired by the Daily Mail, a letter has emerged after Perry was confirmed as a headliner for the upcoming Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 event scheduled to begin on February 8.
Carl Westcott, who is embroiled in a legal dispute that has lasted more than four years, is still locked in a fierce legal battle with the famous singer.
The “Fireworks” singer recently demanded $6 million in damages from Westcott, which only made the conflict more tense. Although the couple won their case in 2023, the pop icon faced a lot of criticism because Westcott claimed he did not have the mental capacity to sell his house to them in 2021.
Now, this situation has unintentionally implicated Prince Harry, who shares a neighbor and friendship with Perry and her boyfriend, Orlando Bloom, in Montecito, California.
Veteran Chart Westcott’s son wrote a letter to Prince Harry expressing the family’s disappointment at Perry’s participation in the event.
In illuminating the conflict of values between the Invictus Games and Perry’s pursuit of a legitimate cause against his father, Chart draws attention to a necessary contradiction.
Furthermore, Westcott’s ongoing struggle against Huntington’s disease lasting more than a year left him bedridden, adding to the emotional burden of his family’s appeal.
“As our father’s health declined, my brother and I were fighting to preserve his legacy, as a man and a veteran, but this legal fight has became a source of immense pain for our family.”
“The choice to feature Ms. Perry at the Invictus Games seems at odds with the event’s mission to honor veterans and their sacrifices.”
“While Ms. Perry’s involvement could be seen as a gesture of support for veterans, her relentless pursuit of our father in court tells a different story – one that deeply undermines embodies the values that the Olympics represent.”
The letter written by Chart ended with a polite plea aimed at Prince Harry, urging him to reconsider his choice to include the singer in the Vancouver lineup.
“Our family greatly admires the work of the Invictus Foundation and its commitment to veterans around the world. We believe in highlighting individuals whose actions are consistent with our values.” This is critical to protecting the integrity of the event.”
“It seemed like he was oblivious to this incident and Katy’s actions and had a complete lack of empathy for my father and our family.”
“She doesn’t care about disabled veterans, much less those interested in going to the Invictus Games. I know Harry himself is a veteran and that’s important to him , and I hope that he won’t want anyone or anything associated with the games that haven’t previously shown themselves to be friends of the veteran community.”
In the midst of their discussion, Chart brought up rumors about Katy Perry receiving a significant sum of money for her performance at the annual gathering.
Despite the lack of official reports on compensation for their appearances, there is no word on Perry or any of the other performers – Noah Kahan, Nelly Furtado and Jelly Roll – receiving payment for their participation. their family.
