The Sussexes seem to be actively pursuing opportunities to enhance their Hollywood prospects, yet the impact of their recent appearance on the red carpet in Jamaica remains uncertain.
Royal expert Richard Fitz Williams cautioned that support for Harry and Meghan is dwindling. Speaking to GB News, he suggested they should explore alternative avenues to stay in the spotlight instead of relying on ongoing attacks on the royal family.
Williams noted that the couple's actions seem limited, pointing out that Prince Harry already had the Invictus Games, and their approach has not added anything new. With concerns about their existing deals, including the Spotify contract set to expire in 2025, he emphasized the need for a more strategic and sustainable public relations strategy.
The Sussexes initially secured lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify upon relocating to America. However, their Spotify deal encountered difficulties last year, and with just two projects in the pipeline, their partnership with Netflix concludes in 2025. Their recent attendance at the premiere of "Bob Marley: One Love" in Jamaica garnered attention, particularly as they cozyed up to Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness, known for advocating against the UK monarchy.
The couple's presence at the Marley premiere raised eyebrows, with suggestions that they attended to upstage rather than support the event. An anonymous source claimed that Idris Elba, present at the London premiere, was unamused by their behavior and would have confronted them if they had attempted to upstage the Jamaican premiere.
Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina attended the London premiere of "Bob Marley: One Love" at the BFI IMAX, where the actor stood out in a bold-patterned blue, beige, and green coat. Elba reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the Sussexes' alleged attempt to overshadow the Jamaican premiere, emphasizing that they should have been there to support the film.
In a notable detail, Idris Elba, who served as the DJ at Harry and Meghan's wedding, previously revealed he initially thought Prince Harry was joking when offering him the gig. Elba, like other celebrities in attendance, was not closely acquainted with the royal couple but attended out of respect for the Prince of Wales, whom he now supports as an ambassador for the Prince's Trust.
