At the star-studded premiere of "Deadpool and Wolverine," Emma Corrin reportedly insulted Prince Harry by mocking his diminished royal status compared to his brother, Prince William.
The crowd was taken aback by her remarks, and offscreen drama began to unfold during the red carpet arrivals. The commotion began with the thunderous cheers of spectators as a member of the British royal family arrived. Anticipation mounted for the appearance of a legitimate prince, but instead, Prince Harry strolled down the red carpet. The audience's reaction was swift and clear, with boos and cheers echoing through the venue as Harry greeted his supporters.
Emma Corrin, the celebrated performer famous for her portrayal of Princess Diana in "The Crown," confidently approached the microphone with a playful gleam in her eye. She addressed the dissatisfied spectators, saying, "Well, well, who do we have here? Definitely not Prince William, if I'm not mistaken. As a matter of fact, I'm doubtful he even merits being addressed as a prince." Corrin criticized the Duke of Sussex for prioritizing his royal name over upholding the Crown's legacy and supporting his family. The audience erupted in applause and laughter, encouraging her to continue.
"Truly noble royalty would honor their duty by being present for those who depend on them," Corrin stated dramatically, pointing towards Harry. "Yet he seems more interested in exploiting his title than fulfilling its weighty obligations." She detailed Harry's numerous blunders, including his contentious interviews and highly publicized relocation to the United States. The audience grew more agitated as she left no aspect untouched, even pointing out how he had abandoned his own family members. Corrin feigned disappointment, shaking her head while questioning where the loyalty and sense of duty that a true prince should possess were evident in Harry.
The more Corrin spoke, the angrier the crowd became, hurling jeers and cheers at Harry as he stood there on the red carpet, looking unsure and out of place. At one point, Corrin echoed what many were thinking: by being there that night, 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 no one."
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 a 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.
