In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were denied the opportunity to speak at the premiere of the biopic “Bob Marley One Love” in Jamaica.
The couple’s uninvited appearance at the event was seen by many as a desperate attempt to gain public attention and sympathy.
Rita Marley, the widow of legendary singer Bob Marley, revealed that Harry and Meghan had begged her to let them speak at the premiere.
She confirmed that they were huge fans of Bob Marley and his music.
However, Rita Marley firmly denied their request, stating that they had no right to speak for her husband or his estate.
Harry and Meghan had flown to Jamaica as guests of importance, hoping to mingle with celebrities and dignitaries at the launch held at the Carib Theater in Kingston.
However, they were met with disappointment as Rita Marley, accompanied by her son Ziggy and other Marley family members, made it clear that they were not welcome.
Rita Marley, who oversaw production on the biopic and gave her blessing for the film, appeared visibly upset when she saw Harry and Meghan on the red carpet, engaging in conversations with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness and others.
According to Rita Marley, she and Harry were approached before the show and asked for permission to speak to the audience and express their admiration for Bob Marley and his music.
Claiming to be huge fans of the reggae icon, Harry and Meghan wanted to share their appreciation with the world.
They also expressed their desire to show support for Jamaica and its culture, as they had visited the country numerous times before and felt a strong connection to it.
However, Rita Marley was unimpressed and promptly turned down their request, accusing them of disrespect, opportunism, and hypocrisy.
Rita Marley firmly stated that Harry and Meghan had no business speaking at the premiere since they were not invited by her or the film producers.
She also criticized them for lacking knowledge or understanding of Bob Marley’s life message or impact, suggesting that they were merely using him as a publicity stunt.
She demanded that they stay away from her and her family.
The revelation made by Rita Marley was further confirmed by leaked body cam footage, which showed the encounter between Harry, Meghan, and Rita Marley.
The video captured Rita Marley’s angry and dismissive reaction as she told them to leave her alone and find a seat.
Harry and Meghan were shocked and embarrassed by the refusal and had no choice but to quietly watch the movie.
Throughout the screening, they did not applaud or cheer and left the theater immediately after the film ended, without saying goodbye to anyone.
They did not interact with Rita Marley or any of the movie stars, including Kingsley Bennett, who played Bob Marley, and LaShawn Lynch, who portrayed Rita Marley.
This incident has shed light on Harry and Meghan’s desperation and delusion as they continue to seek attention and validation from the public.
It also exposes their lack of respect and appreciation for Bob Marley and his legacy, which they have seemingly attempted to exploit for their own benefit.
Unsurprisingly, the couple has faced a barrage of criticism and ridicule on social media, with many users condemning their rude and arrogant behavior.
They have been accused of thinking they can speak for Bob Marley and his fans, despite their lack of understanding of his values and significance.
The reggae music community and the people of Jamaica have made it clear that Harry and Meghan are not welcome.
As of now, Harry and Meghan have not commented on the incident or offered an apology to Rita Marley or the film crew.
They are expected to return to the US soon, where they will undoubtedly face further scrutiny and criticism.
