Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the premiere of Bob Marley Won Love in Jamaica, but a new video has left fans convinced that the royal couple were less than impressed with their seat allocation.
In the clip that recently surfaced online, the Duke and Duchess can be seen being shown to their seats by security staff, while other guests were already settled in the front rows.
Instead, Meghan and Harry found themselves seated further back in the crowd.
The couple paused, surveying the situation, with Harry scratching his beard in contemplation and Meghan mumbling to one of her staff.
Another video captured Meghan leaning in to talk to Harry before he abruptly got up from his chair and walked back up the aisle.
Meanwhile, a photo taken inside the premiere shows Meghan gesturing towards someone, while Harry looks down into the row without a smile.
This series of moments has sparked speculation about the couple’s experience at the event.
Meghan and Harry flew to Jamaica as guests of Paramount Pictures, who distributed the film, sharing a private jet with executives and staying at the same hotel.
Their appearance on the red carpet alongside Jamaican politicians garnered global headlines, boosting Paramount’s publicity.
However, the CEO of Paramount denied inviting the royal couple, stating that they didn’t make space for them on the private jet and that they bought movie tickets like regular attendees.
According to an insider, the Paramount CEO refused Meghan’s demands for a private jet, both when they arrived in Jamaica and when they were returning to Los Angeles.
The CEO claimed that he couldn’t pay for someone he didn’t know.
Pictures taken at the event also failed to depict Meghan and Harry being treated as VIPs, raising questions about their status.
This situation has led some to speculate that Meghan and Harry’s actions may be a deliberate PR move to secure their Netflix deal.
With rumors swirling about Paramount’s financial struggles and potential sale of parts of the company, the couple may be attempting to impress Netflix by suggesting that Paramount is interested in their ideas and ready to offer them a significant deal.
In addition to the controversy surrounding their treatment at the premiere, Meghan and Harry faced criticism for flying on a private jet, which contradicts Harry’s commitment to sustainable travel through his initiative, Travelist.
The 6,000-mile round trip for a film premiere was seen as against their principles.
As the Sussexes have a contract with Netflix, the speculation about their involvement with Paramount Pictures suggests that their Netflix deal may be in jeopardy.
It appears that Meghan and Harry are seeking to entice Paramount, potentially as an alternative option if their partnership with Netflix falls through.
Overall, Meghan and Harry’s experience at the Jamaican premiere has raised eyebrows, with conflicting reports about their invitation and treatment.
As they navigate their post-royal lives, it remains to be seen how their choices and associations will shape their future endeavors.
