Prince Harry and Meghan Markle surprised attendees at the Bob Marley One Love premiere in Jamaica.
The highly anticipated movie musical, set to hit theaters on February 14, features Kingsley Ben-Edir as the reggae legend and Lana Lynch as his wife Rita.
The film’s goal is to honor Marley’s life and music, highlighting his journey of triumph over challenges and the inspiration behind his groundbreaking music, as outlined in its synopsis.
Seated in the fourth row behind a group of Rastafarians were Prince Harry and Meghan.
Reports suggest that the royal couple was displeased with their placement at the back during the event.
This incident follows Harry’s recent experience at the Living Legend of Aviation Awards, where he was unexpectedly moved from VIP seating to Table 115.
Cameras captured Harry’s visible frustration in a video, as he questioned his seating assignment, pointing to the chair with raised eyebrows, clearly expressing disbelief.
The footage revealed Harry’s disappointment at being relegated to Table 115, a table perceived as less prestigious.
Observers commented on the irony of his seating arrangement, considering his past prominence on the event’s website and the rumored $30,000 payment for the award.
Critics highlighted the stark contrast between Harry’s seating and that of Hollywood stars like John Trowler and Kurt Russell, emphasizing the perceived downgrade.
Royal experts have weighed in on the situation, suggesting that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may be at risk of losing their standing in Hollywood.
Since transitioning away from royal duties in 2020, the couple faced setbacks such as losing a lucrative partnership with Spotify and receiving mixed reactions to Harry’s memoir.
Despite their aspirations in Hollywood, the Sussexes have yet to unveil any new projects, leaving them vulnerable to criticism.
Notably, the couple has become the subject of mockery, with royal author Phil Dumpier noting a shift in public perception towards them.
Dumpier remarked on the change in attitudes towards Harry and Meghan, highlighting how they have transitioned from being celebrated figures to targets of ridicule.
The couple’s struggles in Hollywood have not gone unnoticed, with commentators warning that their lack of significant projects could jeopardize their reputation.
Meghan’s recent signing with talent agency William Morris Endeavor hinted at potential future endeavors, although specific projects remain undisclosed.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Meghan teased about upcoming ventures with Harry, expressing excitement about their creative pursuits.
However, concerns have been raised about the couple’s future in the industry, particularly as their Netflix contract approaches expiration.
Analysts warn that the Sussexes must ramp up their output to avoid being sidelined in Hollywood.
