Prince Harry and Meghan Markle flew to Jamaica on Tuesday for the premiere of Bob Marley's new film. Meanwhile, in Britain, Prince Harry's father was preparing to undergo prostate surgery and his sister-in-law was recovering from a serious abdominal operation in hospital. The couple made their entrance at the Kib Theater in Kingston, with Meghan elegantly donning a flowing black dress with a full skirt and Harry opting for a suit with an open collar shirt. They posed for photos with Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Chairman and CEO Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy James.
Despite their previous collaborations with Spotify and Netflix, the CEO of Paramount and his wife did not make room for Harry and Meghan, and the couple found themselves sidelined. Tracy James seemed visibly annoyed that the Sussexes had inserted themselves into the photo shoot, and the attempted photobombing didn't go unnoticed.
The Paramount CEO and his wife looked uncomfortable, showing no response to Harry and Megan trying to enjoy the moment for themselves. Tracy James did not adjust to allow the couple to be centered in the photo, leaving them in an awkward position. Most of the people photographed with them don't know them; they are simply too polite to refuse. The couple quickly walked out after the photo was taken.
Harry and Meghan seem to believe that people perceive them the way they do, but this incident and others suggest otherwise. The Netflix CEO made fun of their jokes at the Golden Globes, Harry networked with the Amazon CEO and now they're looking for connections with another network CEO in Jamaica. It appears they are aware of their declining position with Netflix and are actively seeking new opportunities.
At the premiere, Harry also took photos with Andrew Hales, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, and his wife, Juliet Hales. Hales said Jamaica was moving away from the British monarchy and the seizure process was underway, following in the footsteps of Barbados. Harry was also seen hugging Ziggy Marley, the 55-year-old musician and son of Bob and Rita Marley, who produced “One Love.”
It remains unclear why Harry and Meghan were at the event, although the film showcases British talent with Londoners Kingsley Benadir as Bob Marley, Lashana Lynch as Rita Marley and James Norton as the role of producer Chris Black.
This return trip to Jamaica marks the Sussexes' first public outing in 2024, following their last appearance together at a Vancouver Canucks game on November 20, 2023. Harry had attended the Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Beverly Hills alone, as Meghan couldn't do it. join due to the illness of one of their children. This raises questions about their parenting choices as they travel thousands of miles for an event like this, leaving their children behind.
