JAMAICA – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle jetted to Jamaica on Tuesday for the premiere of the new Bob Marley film – while back in Britain his father was preparing for prostate surgery and his sister-in-law was in hospital recovering from abdominal surgery.
The Arrival of the Smiling Couple
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex turned heads as they arrived at the Carib Theatre in Kingston. The smiling couple posed for photos and shook hands with actors.
Meghan, 42, was dressed in a full-skirted flowing black gown with a slick-back bun and a french tip manicure, and Harry, 39, wore in a suit and open-necked shirt.
The pair posed with the president and CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon, Brian Robbins, and his wife Tracy James – perhaps searching for a new champion after their Spotify and Netflix debacles.
Meghan and Harry – who stepped down from royal duties four years ago – also stood with prime minister of Jamaica Andrew Holness and his wife Juliet at the premiere.
Holness has said his country is ‘moving on’ from the British monarchy.
Harry’s father, King Charles, is currently head of state of Jamaica.
The process to sever ties with the British monarchy is underway, following in the footsteps of another former Caribbean possession, Barbados.
Much like the island county’s severance with the monarchy, Prince Harry too revoked his HRH titles and sensationally moved on from being a working royal in early 2020.
On Tuesday night, Prince Harry was seen on the red carpet hugging Ziggy Marley, the 55-year-old musician and son of Bob and Rita Marley, who produced One Love.
Why Harry and Meghan Attended
It is unclear why Harry and Meghan were there – although the film showcases British talent, with Londoners Kingsley Ben-Adir as Bob Marley and Lashana Lynch as Rita Marley, and James Norton playing producer Chris Blackwell.
Harry moved to North America with his wife Meghan, who he wed in 2018.
Where They Live Now
Meghan and Harry now reside in Montecito, California, with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. The Sussexes have made very few public and personal trips back to the UK since leaving their duties behind.
The couple have had many ventures in the entertainment industry since their royal departure.
They signed multimillion-dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify to produce podcasts and docuseries, discussing their life within the royal fold.
