While Prince Harry may have travelled halfway across the world and battled through the Sydney wind and rain to promote The Invictus Games – a cause he is so passionate about, scandal was brewing surrounding disgraced games ambassador Crissy Ashcroft.
‘Disgusted’ members of the Australian team had threatened to boycott the event if former The Voice contestant Crissy remained one of the faces of the games, following revelations that she embellished her war record.
