At the star-studded premiere of "Deadpool and Wolverine," actress Emma Corrin reportedly made headlines by mocking Prince Harry, highlighting his lack of royal stature compared to his brother, Prince William.
Her remarks left the crowd in shock. Meanwhile, offscreen drama also unfolded during the red carpet arrivals at the event. The commotion started with the thunderous cheers of spectators as a member of the British royal family made an entrance. The anticipation was high for the appearance of a legitimate prince. Instead, Prince Harry strolled down the red carpet, and the audience's reaction was swift and clear-cut, with resounding boos and cheers echoing through the town.
While Harry greeted his supporters on his way in, Emma Corrin, celebrated for her portrayal of Princess Diana in "The Crown," advanced confidently and took hold of the microphone with a playful gleam in her gaze.
Corrin began with a caustic remark, "Well, well, who do we have here? Definitely not Prince William, if I'm not mistaken. As a matter of fact, I doubt he even merits being addressed as Prince." She mercilessly criticized the Duke of Sussex for prioritizing his royal name over upholding the Crown's legacy and supporting his family. The audience burst into a frenzy of applause and laughter, eagerly encouraging her to continue with their cheers.
She took aim at Harry's motivations, stating, "Truly noble royalty would honor their duty by being present for those who depend on them," she paused dramatically, pointing towards him before continuing, "Yet he seems more interested in exploiting his title than fulfilling its weighty obligations." The actress proceeded to detail Harry's numerous blunders, including his contentious interviews and highly publicized relocation to the United States. The audience became more agitated as she left no aspect untouched, even pointing out how he has abandoned his own family members.
Corrin feigned disappointment by shaking her head and questioning, "Where is the loyalty and sense of duty that a true prince should possess?" The more Corrin spoke, the angrier the crowd became. They hurled themselves and cheered at Harry with increasing fervor as he stood there on the red carpet looking eager and out of place. At one point, Corrin echoed what many were thinking: by being here tonight, Harry was trying to hold on to a fame that had long since faded away. Her harsh words only added fuel to an already heated situation.
"This has nothing to do with endorsing the arts or commemorating a commendable movie," she stated firmly. "It's just Harry attempting to place himself center stage and remind people of his significance. But let me inform you of something, my dear, you're no longer royalty, and time waits for none." Harry was left shaken and unsure of how to respond as the crowd erupted in a thunderous roar of approval. Any attempt at self-defense from him was met with dismissal by Corrin, who simply raised her hand, silencing Harry with a dismissive wave. "Don't bother, Harry," she said. "The people have spoken loud and clear. You're not welcome here anymore."
It seemed that it might be best for Harry to accept this reality and fade back into obscurity where he properly belonged. Corrin dropped the microphone and walked away, leaving Harry stunned and humiliated. The crowd continued to jeer and boo as he quickly retreated in disgrace, his hopes of a victorious red carpet entrance forever shattered.
The incident has rapidly become the topic of discussion across social media, with users worldwide chiming in on Corrin's harsh criticism. Some have commended her bravery and willingness to point out Harry's perceived flaws, while others have criticized her actions as disrespectful towards a royal family member.
