The Sussexes' quest for positive publicity at the premiere of Bob Marley's "One Love" in Jamaica took an unexpected turn as they faced an embarrassing snub from Damien Marley, Bob Marley's son.
Despite attending the event as guests of Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins, Harry and Megan were humiliated when Damien Marley refused to pose for a photo with them. Fans approaching Damien Marley for a photo to enhance the Sussexes' image were met with sarcasm and dismissal, leaving Harry and Megan visibly upset.
The incident unfolded during the afterparty at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, creating an awkward departure for the royal couple.
Adding to the awkwardness, Prince Harry and Megan Markle's photo call with Prime Minister Andrew Holness of Jamaica faced criticism, with some sources suggesting that Harry may be unaware of political or familial sensitivities. The timing of their visit, as guests of Paramount CEO Brian Robbins, drew negative reactions, with sources describing it as misguided and not well-received back in London.
A local blogger captured the couple on camera, showcasing their discontent as they were seated in row eight, apparently less distinguished than expected. Public relations expert Lynn Carratt found the awkward moment amusing and speculated that Megan, in her glamorous Carolina Herrera dress, may have expected more time in front of the cameras.
Viewers on social media analyzed Prince Harry and Megan's body language, with some claiming the prince appeared uncomfortable and Megan's alleged sulky behavior hinted at dissatisfaction with their seating arrangement.
As the incident gained attention online, netizens speculated about the couple gate-crashing the event, questioning the authenticity of their invitation. The narrative surrounding the Sussexes' attempt to improve their public image took an unexpected twist, overshadowing their presence at the prestigious premiere and creating buzz around their reception in Jamaica.
